That's "struck on scrap". Never heard of it being called a "mit error scrap" before.

Oh my lord, so you didn't think that's what the guy meant? Geez. I mean really... the guy even explained it... "Saying that it was a piece of scrap metal that got dropped in the hopper and went through the stamping process" but you guys just basically say "No such thing" instead of maybe telling him that such a thing does exist, but the name is a little different.

I'm with the majority: acid. I have found acid treated coins CRHing before and just one of the many science experiments you'll see from time-to-time.

RE: beach finds, the damage I have seen is different. Pitted and crusty is how I'd describe my 'ancient' finds (oldest, 1909 LWC).

Always worth posting here though to be sure. And even the experienced folks will be stymied once in a while.

I'd say the best of both worlds. A normal struck cent, first acid bath then ocean bath. Its had a rough life.

An ocean bath for a length of time would have turned the cent green. Your coin couldn't have been there for any length of time.

On the other hand, why not go with it? Offer it to him @ a reduced price of $50, or so.
I betcha his tune will change.
