Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 10/25/2018 4:01 pm Both are damaged. The quarter is just really beat up; I could make up a crazy story but it would just be guesswork! The cent is a victim of zinc rot; the zinc core in modern US cents is pretty unstable, so once something gets through the thin protective layer of copper, the whole thing self-destructs.

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 10/25/2018 4:37 pm To CCF , Yes both were damaged after they left the mint . The Lincoln Cent is poor product of our modern pennies which virtually all U.S. coin collectors dislike . Report this Post to the Staff
