heavymetal Valued Member United States 303 Posts	Posted 10/31/2019 7:13 pm I found this searching through some cents my grandpa gave me. I know it's a greased die and also double, maybe triple struck. It's a Close AM but can't really tell what the last number is. It sort of looks like a 2 but also maybe an 8. You can barely make out the 199. I've tried every different type of light angle. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

There seem to be multiple areas that have been very lightly struck up, as you note most likely due to grease in the die. However, with several regions starting to corrode from the inner zinc core, I'm concerned about the condition of this coin moving forward. You can slow the degradation process, but I don't think stop it.

It could have been a cup holder coin. Soft-Drinks with phosphoric and citric acid are really hard on almost all types of metal.

heavymetal Valued Member United States 303 Posts	Posted 10/31/2019 8:03 pm Most of what looks like corrosion on the reverse is some type of grease. It could be easily removed by cleaning but didn't want to go that route. It's still in great shape underneath. Thanks for the replies. Report this Post to the Staff
