2012 Lincoln Shield Cent Silver (or Zinc) Error ?
Does anyone know exactly what type of error this is? It looks like it’s maybe Zinc and missing the copper plate. Any info would be great. Thanks.

:welcome:
ummmmm, kinda hard to tell/see the "exact" surface color/condition from these pics ....
...possibly 'soaked' in some solution to strip the copper, or discolor it :dunno
may i ask "where did you find this coin ?"

So many altered coins with their copper stripped that these need to be weighed and examined person for verification. However, the value is minimal even if the coin is missing the plating.
