  I see traces of the copper. It was probably deplated and you are looking at the zinc.

  From the looks of the upper right corner the zinc rot has begun.

  @Inkman77....Welcome aboard.... I agree with the premise @JBK put forth....copper gone...just the zinc core...no numismatic value...Cheers, RickO

  It probably spent quite a bit of time buried, deteriorated, was found and was then harshly cleaned. It has no numismatic value.

  All glory is fleeting.

  Plated

  It's not de-plated (copper removed) imo.

  Agree with @FredWeinberg, it has been plated.
