I agree, glue. Soak it in some acetone and see if it comes off.

It is still glue or some similar substance.

I have to agree with l.cutler. I believe this is the result of glue or similar adhesive.

The apperance of this cent is clearly not a lamination problem of any known kind. Copper plated zinc cents do not have lamination problems. Any separation would be a plating issue. Clearly not a plating issue that I have ever seen.

Have you tried acetone yet? Acetone will cause most adhesives and glues to separate from most metals, including copper and zinc. If there is no adhesive, acetone will not attack copper or zinc.

Time for more coffee.

The only thing I can think of at this point is a very serious plating separation, although I have never seen one like yours. Also, how long did you let the cent soak in the acetone?

Past time for more coffee.

Looks like the pennies i get from my cup holder in the center console of my car. Defiantly something has spilled on it.

You asked, and you got answers. If you don't like the answers then spend your money and send it to one of the professional graders but I suspect the verdict will be the same.
