Some of the pits have tails indicating it was also dragged a bit. Run over, flipped, run over again.

what's the oldest answer?. Unless you were there when the damage occurred, it's difficult, if not impossible, to determine what caused the damage. Whatever the cause, it's just a damaged coin. |

My guess is....  ....a cent inside a folded piece of 80 grit sandpaper wrapped in leather and struck by a blunt object on a firm surface. Don't see how you guys could have missed it.  "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"

It's a pity the coin has ended up in this pitted condition. |

Whatever happened to it, it wasn't outside in the rain for very long after it happened. There's virtually no zinc rot that I can see; it all looks like physical damage, rather than corrosion.

...loonielewy: "My guess is........a cent inside a folded piece of 80 grit sandpaper wrapped in leather and struck by a blunt object on a firm surface..." pretty good assumption ... most reasonable guess so far ... I'll try & duplicate that method & see what happens ... may I borrow a penny?...  |

Someone snorted sulphuric acid and sneezed it out on the coin.
