SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 07/26/2015 9:35 pm There are areas around the outside devices where the copper has pealed back. Is this PSD? Report this Post to the Staff

ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 07/26/2015 10:07 pm I realized that after I posted. At first I thought you were talking about the lack of plating to the left of the letters in Liberty Report this Post to the Staff

SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 3:50 pm And the copper expanded? I don't know. I just think it is weird that the copper also split in other areas around the devices. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 07/29/2015 04:41 am It's very possible this is one of the exact cents I found at the beginning of the year, but I doubt it. I opened about $25 worth of CWR that were probably stored for many years. All the coins dated pre-1993, and had this wild zinc look to them. I'll post them on this thread or a different one. I think it's just from the air that has gotten in over time. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 07/29/2015 04:42 am I saved several of them and I think I put one in a 2x2 to preserve it just because I thought it was unique. I later dumped them at a bank, so it's very possible they recirculated, someone got it in change, and then flew out to california LOL... Report this Post to the Staff
