What's a Lincoln look like on the inside?

Just received a Lincoln Cent in change today. Looks like a steel cent and is much lighter in weight. Date is a 1990. Only thing I can conclude is that the copper coating has been melted off. Detail is quite full though.....is this possible?

usually this is a case of acid treating coins (commonly done in high school lab experiments)

That could be what happened to it.....I'll have to take a close look at it when I get home.

Notice the backwards profile and date @ 9:00.
