Once the copper is worn off, the Zinc core is exposed. Zinc is a soft metal and reacts with water to make a dusty oxide. This looks like somebody rubbed both sides with fine-grained sandpaper. Or something else that damaged the rim. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
