Strange 1942 Wheat Penny

ET December 07, 2020

I have been going through some old rolls of wheat pennies,I came across a 1942 Philadelphia, no mint mark, one side looks like copper and the other looks like steel. The side that looks like steel is oxidizing. I have never seen anything like it. Any ideas ?

Ethel, this looks like nothing more than the obverse ("heads") side of the coin being exposed to an aggressive element.
