That is a winner.
I have found a number of these and wonder is there a point where they would be rejected? The bank or other institutions would lose if they tossed them. Is there a point of no return of a cent?

A winner, for sure. As a metal detectorist, I find them like this all the time. They are usually zinc ones, which have been hit at least once by lawnmowers. Very common in parks. I have never seen one this bad in a roll of cents, though.

WOW! That is one beat up cent! I can't imagine what this cent has been through. (Other than zinc rot)

I actually thought this was an ancient when I first saw the pics. I've seen some pretty rough cents, but nothing close to this one.
Rest in Peace
