Staining, or perhaps someone started removing the plating?

@Rubduck  Nice looking cent. Appears to have some staining or environmental damage. |

Maybe a partial plating error....How to tell? IDK...But the experts at TPGers can. Just saw (12/23/2024) a 88P sell on Heritages for $64 w/BP + S&H. So worth sending in to be authenticated and graded ?....HECK NO. Just keep it and add to your collection.

I'm guessing someone "erased" the copper plating, and now zinc rot is setting in for that area.

Interesting find. A keeper for future comparison maybe.

Looks to have been exposed to something corrosive, the pitting on the obverse is a telltale sign.

@Rubduck - Were you not satisfied with the comments to your post on the "US Modern Variety and Error Coins" forum ?
