Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 04/10/2020 2:10 pm to the CCF! It's a zinc platted steel cent. It's common for the zinc to wear off leaving the steel core to do what steel does, rust like crazy! ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
