Mixed mteal 1905 Indian head

As my son and I go through a number of penny roles, we found this 1905 that appears to have an odd pour mixture (zinc/tin on the reverse). Curious if there is any value to the coin. Appreciate your thoughts.

Cheers,

Could be just corrosion. Looks great. Compare with my 06 that I found And posted yesterday, and see what severe corrosion from spending 100 years in the wet ground looks like. Your coin is only worth a few dollars, but would look good displayed as part of a collection. Nice!

Thanks Hot zone - not sure if corrosion is a factor as it was in a roll. Also, the zinc/tin "bleeds" a bit on the side. Sorry for the poor pic - iPhone ...
