From what I can see it looks like 199? something. Very faint.

Either the working die has been polished down to a nub or grease got in the way. Sorry, no premium.

A super nice specimen might get someones attention. Yours is a bit eat up.

Blasted zinc's! All you gotta do is look at 'em and they turn funky.

by the way!
Rest in Peace

Poor coin. There's probably no way to ever know.

That coin looks like it is rotting away.

I don't think I've seen a cent with the last number of the date completely missing -- which would make it an interesting find except that the zincolns are just full of problems that look like errors but they are simply poorly made coins created out of crummy materials.

If it is a 1990-92 it will be the Wide AM 93 forward for the Close AM.

When I first looked at the coin, it looks like the date ends in a 7. Either that or it is my imagination.

But looking at the AM in America on the reverse, would help, like others have said.
