spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/14/2018 10:12 pm It appears to have been crudely "reprocessed". That means someone took a worn coin and replated it to look shiny. The original coin looks to have had some pitting from rust, as well.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/14/2018 11:22 pm A reprocessed cent found in the parking lot by a public beach. Sand imprints from being run over. Come on fellas, that one was easy! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 12:17 pm It probably was a rusty steel cent, and it was re-plated without removing the rust. Report this Post to the Staff
