Strouth New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/19/2020 04:35 am New to collecting,the penny I have looks like some of the letters have been picked out as if they were inserts. The rim has a ring all the way around. It isn't magnetic and I don't see a mint mark. The reverse seems ordinary but if y'all think I should submit a pic of it as well just let me know. Do I have anything worth anything or just a cool but worthless coin. Thanks for any help and advice. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 08/19/2020 6:11 pm The letters that are "picked out" is from what collectors call "zinc rot" - the same thing happens to US copper-plated zinc Lincoln cents. The result from environmental damage.
