Any chance that you can weigh it to the nearest 0.1 g? Maybe a postage scale?

Sabrinaerinvicke New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 10/19/2019 7:09 pm Also if you look closely at the date 1982 the one is strange looking to me Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 10/19/2019 7:49 pm Strange, almost looks like zinc rot but can't be at that weight.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/20/2019 09:03 am What does the reverse look like? If it is damaged, then I would expect to see a push out opposite the affected bust area. If it is normal on the reverse, then I would think about a struck by grease area. So let's see what the reverse looks like first. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/20/2019 12:59 pm It doesn't bulge out here, so it is a Struck Through Grease issue. But the damage to the plating on the rim on the reverse will not work out well for this coin in the future for this coin. (so how did I know where to see the opposite side of that area?) Note the 'TY' on Liberty? Well the opposite of that on the reverse would be to the right of bay 2 and three. Report this Post to the Staff
Sabrinaerinvicke New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 10/20/2019 1:51 pm So it could have been valuable but because of the issue with the damage on the rim it's pretty much worth a penny. Report this Post to the Staff
Sabrinaerinvicke New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 10/20/2019 2:09 pm Thanks so very much for your time with this coin I truly appreciate your input Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 10/20/2019 2:10 pm Yes worth a penny. My guess is beat up and face down in some kind of corrosive. Report this Post to the Staff
