@pea, first welcome to CCF. Second, that is 100% damage, although it looks like mechanical damage rather than corrosion to me.

I am sure if Spence will be near me we will spend the night to test those coins. Just to say: It is acid. Looking overall, the small holes, and very important the color is acid reaction. No mechanical interferences could done this. Look at the letters, acid eat.

OR someone used a compass point and damaged the coin with that needle on those areas.  |

Puts me in mind of what a soldering iron would do but as others have said, damage after it left the mint, PSD. -makecents-

Post-strike damage, aye. I'm thinking 'mechanical' in nature--someone fooling around with a nail perhaps. Worth one full cent.

HeHeHe, funny. Coop you have imagination over the limits. One thing : "Who will be so nut to spend the amount of the time to do so many holes?" And the to deteriorate the OF letters like this? We always we will something new, and this I like.

Thank you kindly for all the responses. I tried n tried to find something simular but have had no luck. I wasn't sure what could have happened as it appears to start from the bottom of the wheat. The color in picture not sure why it turned out that way but it is actually the same color as the picture of the front of the penny. I had taken another picture of it before but my phone broke but in that picture in some of those holes there appears to be some lettering I seen a couple of E's and an S..when I get the phone fixed and am able to get the picture I will post it. Thank you again for all who responded.

No need for more pics, it is PMD of some kind not an error. John1 |
