Coin looks carved into with a rotary tool, the design of Lincoln's face would not be stuck so deep into the coin. The area should be showing zinc which is gray in color or black, since that is not the case it looks like someone stained it as well.

The reverse image, on the rim above the C looks like zinc rot.
I wonder if it is possible for the zinc to have rotted under the copper plating and then the copper plating depressed into the cavity?
