Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 12/07/2023 07:30 am Yes a small hole in the copper plating has allowed the underlying zinc core to start deteriorating. This cent would be a spender for me.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19159 Posts	Posted 12/07/2023 08:12 am Yes, split plating associated with the mint mark has exposed the zinc core, which has resulted in zinc rot. Cool example. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96214 Posts	Posted 12/07/2023 08:53 am funny how it looks like a 4 over a 0, but the '0' is a zinc bubble, as well as the mess that became of the D mint mark.
