Looks like a penny, but real nice speck of patina!
Just corrosion. It got wet for awhile.

Could this be the issue?
Not a wood grain based on other examples on the web, but
maybe he/she's thinking it's a double-die stamp?
Edge is most definitely rolled.

Wood Grain effect due to improper mixing of the composition, along with damage and appears to have been struck with too little striking pressure or with a Die with severe wear.

I'd call it a piece of shopping shrapnel. It's a waste of time and effort.

There's no such thing as a double die stamp.

Shows what I know about coins....
That is okay! It takes many, many years to learn many of the terms and information just in the amateur coin collecting world and a whole lot longer when you expand into Error and Variety Coins, then Type Coins, then Series within each denomination. Heck, I have been collecting, researching, attributing, buying and selling coins for some 45 years now and I still get some of the terms wrong.

Change....though I do keep the copper ones in a big water bottle.
