Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 08/18/2019 10:48 am @LS, first welcome to CCF. Second, yes this coin has been damaged (not a mint error). You are seeing where the copper plating has been abraded, leaving behind the zinc core.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19201 Posts	Posted 08/18/2019 11:03 am I have several of these examples--the more dramatic ones ones in 2x2s. Imagine a new shield cent stuck under a very heavy pallet, being pushed across a concrete floor--just one example. Post mint damage for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
