Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 04/08/2018 8:16 pm Oh boy! I'm not sure what caused this Post Mint Damage, but it is very interesting. I'll take a guess on it, maybe heat from a fire? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 04/08/2018 8:33 pm @CV, it looks to me like the rev is fine, but I'm trying to understand your pic of the obv. Has the copper plating been stripped away leaving just the zinc core or is this pic in black and white?

Coinvirgin Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 04/09/2018 12:08 am Opps! This one is completely stripped & a few other things I found strange.. The groove on rim and the weird thing is it's larger in diameter than a normal cent? as you can see from the photo. I placed a random penny on top Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/09/2018 12:47 am Texas Cent? Looks like the coin was placed between two pieces of leather, and hit hard with a big hammer. That makes the plating fall off the coin as it is stretched larger than the plating. Report this Post to the Staff
Coconutjoe Pillar of the Community United States 1475 Posts	Posted 04/09/2018 03:59 am Texas Cent sure makes sense Sometimes, coins found in metal detecting get cleaned in chemicals. Any bent coin get a whack to make it flat.. Report this Post to the Staff
