environmental damage. Subject to acidic conditions at sometime. Not worth a red cent.

That is a 1982-D, Large Date, copper alloy cent. It is corroded, and worth one cent. Mintage was 6,012,979,368.
That's billions! And it's filthy. Peace Roy

Not so Noice
I couldn't help myself
There will by many here that will attempt to perswade you to send this example to PCGS for authentification and for grading (maybe even concervatorship). I wouldn't. Between the postage both ways and the grading fees plus arbitration labeling cost it would be porbably not worth it.
Do’s not show any corrosion do’s not swo wear or damage only patina I don’t want to cleane
Looks like a MD find=dug up.
That coin has spent time in or on the ground.... and has accumulated dirt/grime .... give it an alcohol rinse followed by hot water....do not rub it.....Weight will come down. Cheers, RickO

Rinsed with alcohol and hot weather no change on weight or color
It's corrosion. That green hue is from copper oxide

That coin shows nothing but corrosion. Patina IS corrosion. Ancient coin collectors call it patina, but it is oxidation/sulfuration products on the surface. Ancients were dug out of the ground so they all look like your coin, which may have also been in the ground. It is NOT called patina by modern collectors, it just goes by the equivalent "corrosion".
