kakaratt77 Pillar of the Community United States 1414 Posts	Posted 06/30/2015 8:16 pm All I can see is massive Die Deterioration and environmental damage. Worth 1 cent. Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 06/30/2015 8:22 pm If the major irregularities started as a lamination the time it spent in the ground has removed all traces. To me this is a metal detector find . Only a rare date would bring a premium in this condition Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 06/30/2015 9:39 pm Major environmental damage & wear. This is not worth one cent; more so $0.03 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 9:26 pm The pock mark is where the lamination has peeled, not laying in the position it is in. It never peeled of, but moved. But not a premium coin in that condition. Sorry. If it were BU then it would be a collectable with the error. Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 05:33 am Coop, I have done quite q bit of metal detecting and dug coppers from 1800 up , out of the ground . The area on the reverse at the E of ONE is not recessed, the area around it is actually raised with hard corrosion. The spot on the obverse above the date also is not a lamination. It is where the cleaning has gone past the hard surface patina to the ground leached copper beneath . The red corroded color is the clue to the ID of the obverse spot. Metal detector find .

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 09:13 am I agree 100% with Stoneman. This laminated look is common on cents that have seen this much environmental corrosion. Report this Post to the Staff
