Unusual LMC.

Any chance of having it weighed for kicks and giggles?

It's possible there is a chemical that dissolves CU but leaves the zinc unharmed.

It is damaged post mint and the plating was removed.

Seems that it is easier to create errors than to search for them. If you've found them in circulation the chances of them being real would be almost nil. If you found them in OBW rolls, then you know for sure they are real. Tubed Cents, well they have been in at least someone else's grasp. So don't assume they are all originally from the same roll and are mint. I've found vise squashed cents in them as well. I found one and thought I had something and the experts said no. Then I found a second one in a different roll that probably made the first one. So now I know what to like for. I put them aside together in a two holed 2X2 for educational purposes. You never know when you might need an image of one of them. I prefer not to create one myself just to make a point. But after to understand the process of how it was done, then you can alert other to it.
So if you find it in a circulated batch of coins, it usually is NOT a mint error. (Always exceptions to the rule) But if you had made a counterfeit coin and didn't want it anymore. What would you do with it? Spend it!

Hi 1913-V,

So whats the verdict here, error or damaged coin. ?

I've also that kind in my possession profound details exhibits in the obverse and the reverse. Black in color. Found in bank roll sent to me by mother last year.

noel its definitely a damaged cent. I'm still keeping for keepsake even though the value is only 1 cent.
