Looks like salt water corrosion and deterioration. Could be wrong about that. It almost looks swollen. Wierd.....

It looks like a clad that was put on a hot plate and the copper tinfoil and zinc has bubbled.

Is it the size of a penny? Looks like the plating from a zinc cent.

looks to be heat damage

Whatever happened, definitely was not an error that was made at the Mint.

Since the penny has the Lincoln Memorial on the back, it must date somewhere between 1959 - 2008.

Torch and a vise.....torch held from a distance. That is what it looks like to me....

NOT an error, it has suffered some kind of heat or environmental damage
