bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 08/08/2014 5:22 pm That is a winner. I have found a number of these and wonder is there a point where they would be rejected? The bank or other institutions would lose if they tossed them. Is there a point of no return of a cent? Report this Post to the Staff

Centurion Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 08/08/2014 5:55 pm A winner, for sure. As a metal detectorist, I find them like this all the time. They are usually zinc ones, which have been hit at least once by lawnmowers. Very common in parks. I have never seen one this bad in a roll of cents, though. Report this Post to the Staff

wheatchaser140 Pillar of the Community United States 2368 Posts	Posted 08/09/2014 07:31 am I actually thought this was an ancient when I first saw the pics. I've seen some pretty rough cents, but nothing close to this one. Report this Post to the Staff
