oldtimmer Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 06/17/2020 1:04 pm Yes there is some Environmental damage. Environmental damage would not take the copper layer away evenly on both sides of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

There is a gray layer (from the moisture in the bottom of a cup holder maybe?) covering the coin. You can see brown showing through where the gray has been rubbed away. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

KYCopperCoins Pillar of the Community United States 1361 Posts	Posted 06/20/2020 12:26 am Easier to tell in hand, zinc doesn't hold up as well as copper so they spot quite fast. Does the coin have luster in hand? Always the easiest way to tell, as the zinc will have luster if it isn't too far gone. Report this Post to the Staff
