It's not die deterioration - actually has nothing to do with that. This coin suffers from split plating, like a heck of a lot of the early zinc cents from Denver. It's exceedingly common. Basically the copper plating split apart exposing the zinc core, which is reactive to environmental conditions - it corrodes quickly.
