Rollsearcher37 Pillar of the Community United States 1295 Posts	Posted 05/03/2014 6:10 pm That's zinc rot; even though it is only on the edges, it will eventually eat up the entire coin. This happens a lot to modern zincs. My advise is to spend that baby while it still resembles a cent Report this Post to the Staff

westnlas Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 05/05/2014 3:50 pm I got a box from a coastal town in California while on vacation. Maybe the salt air makes it worse, but the amount of zinc rotted coins seemed a lot greater than I usually get. And the rot was greater amounts on the coins. Report this Post to the Staff
