Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 01/31/2020 9:24 pm Yes something gritty enough to remove the higher parts of the copper plating, but smooth enough to not leave behind much for scratches in the zinc. If @t-bop is wrong, then perhaps 800 grit sandpaper? For sure, this cent didn't leave the mint looking like this.

Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3178 Posts	Posted 02/03/2020 12:51 pm When I worked in a large shopping mall, I would find coins like this. Kicked up and down the hallways and aisles removes the thin copper plating. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19158 Posts	Posted 02/03/2020 3:24 pm I have several of these across a number of years--mostly late '80s through the '90s. My best examples are in a Dansco generic cent album devoted to damaged Lincoln cents. Very cool. Edited by ijn1944 02/03/2020 3:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
