Msaintiger Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 10/26/2022 05:46 am I swear this penny feels plastic, almost like it was popped out model parts. You know how the edges have a little tiny piece you have to cut off with a hobby knife after the piece is twisted or popped off? I can't find anything online about a 2006 black weird texture coin. Also, the weight is 2.54 grams if curious. Any information is appreciated. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 10/26/2022 05:53 am It looks to have the start of a really bad case of Zinc Rot. The rim has the worst of the rot, but the surfaces are not too far behind. This coin may have been buried or in a body of water for a time. It can get much worse than what you see here.
