Found these 2 in the parking lot of the gas station - I guess they use to much salt to keep the ice from building up.   |

This is probably the worst zincoln that is still identifiable. I found this sifting through a city creek. Even many beach zincs come out better than this. I put this in a 2x2 as its so ugly it deserves an award. That gas station zinc definetly looks only average to some I've seen. but people around my area will take any money, dirty or not and yeah share that zincoln. Maybe the government will realize and change our money back to the gold olden days..  Edited by ChangeFinds1997

"City creek" sounds a lot like "drainage ditch" to me.  I kid, but that's a really bad/good example!  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Those are wonderfully awful.
There are many reason billions are minted annually, and this is a big one.

I don't normally take pictures of completely corroded coins. This one ranks up there for ugliness in a mint state coin.   |

This 1997 zinc bit it. Actually, no... someone bit it!   |

Here's the ones I posted earlier but with better lighting to show the horrible corrosion that zinc is famous for after it eats the copper plating for lunch... and we are handling these - where is the study on the prolonged exposure to zinc- Oh, shhhh!   Edited by Mark1959
