Yes, but the fun part is that in 1942 the penny was bronze. Only in 1943 did they change to zinc-coated steel.
So either this is a zinc-coated steel in the wrong year, or more likely a bronze coin coated in another metal by someone. The photo's are not detailed enough to tell.

It looks completely normal to me and not coated in another metal. Could just be lighting.
Wow! Sorry I even ask anything on here. Not very helpful! I will definitely go somewhere else. Have a blessed day!
Members can help themselves to be accepted by learning and researching by themselves. Sorry if you leave, because you don't want to make a very small effort by yourself. All other groups will also expect you to be active and try to start crunching your problems BEFORE asking.
O.k. You made your point! I have been really stumped with this coin. I am a NGC member and will just send the coin to the experts! You are no expert, just an ass!
Well that one member in particular may very well be an ***, but several other members here answered your question and one even did a great job cropping your photo. Please respect the forum and ignore the trolls.
Your original “question” was to identify your coin. You got the answer in the first reply. You then implied that your question was if you had a mint error or not. You got that answer in the next post. You then accused the members of not being very helpful and you were taking your coins elsewhere.
