I'm a classic guy and not much into examining pocket change coins but I thought you'd like to talk about this one. Looks like zink rot with unusual patterns? But again I don't know much here. Ps, wth, You guys have me looking at my pocket change Edited by Cascade 04/15/2015 12:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

matttheriley Pillar of the Community United States 1512 Posts	Posted 04/15/2015 12:54 pm It can't be zinc rot. It is a 1980 They only made copper cents then. Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/15/2015 1:29 pm it is an 84 I believe. The bottom verical crossbar and leg are quite visible in hand... if it matters. Report this Post to the Staff

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12819 Posts	Posted 04/15/2015 2:03 pm What a strange but cool looking coin. Perhaps someone was having fun with a eyedropper of acid? I think the welding idea is a possibility but why would it look like that on both sides? Report this Post to the Staff

These will not last that many years and then the pennies will be gone Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 09:59 am The small date style 8 in the date clearly indicates that it is almost certainly a Zincoln. Mattheriley's comment about it being copper because it was a 1980 was tongue in cheek. (Large round pit just about where the last digit of the date was.) Report this Post to the Staff
pawpaw34 Valued Member United States 331 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 11:08 am It was shot by a shot gun. I( guess thats why titled moon cent. It shot the moon. Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 12:11 pm I have to chime in paw paw, if that were a shotgun it was from a GI Joe, lol... and it's a "moon" Lincoln because of the craters... although I guess I could have named it the "petri dish" Lincoln post incubation?

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 12:15 pm Although now that I think about it I wonder if coins will now start show damage by guys target shooting them with table salt using the new and very cool "bug-a-salt" fly shotgun killer?...Just a thought Report this Post to the Staff
welder Pillar of the Community United States 1037 Posts	Posted 04/21/2015 4:57 pm Looks like acid drops to me, maybe ferric or another super strong acid. Possibly a salted shotgun blast. Report this Post to the Staff
aardspeed Pillar of the Community 921 Posts	Posted 04/21/2015 5:01 pm Some could call it a "SEAL Lincoln" too. Report this Post to the Staff
