I can sure see why this one made you pause, though. I'm not sure what caused the damage, but there is a lot more surface pitting and damage than I would expect from circulation alone. Good luck and keep hunting! Report this Post to the Staff

josephm99 Pillar of the Community United States 791 Posts	Posted 01/17/2018 11:32 pm Maybe this coin was stored in an acidic environment for a long time? Looks quite pitted. Every couple of boxes of pennies I go through, I find one that is acid eaten. Report this Post to the Staff
Rjeezy91 Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 01/18/2018 12:33 am @josephm99 yeah, it's very possible because when you shine it in the light just right. It looks like there's a substance on there. That's why at first I thought it was a Struck Through Grease error. Report this Post to the Staff
