Oldfordman Pillar of the Community United States 2869 Posts	Posted 05/08/2021 10:06 pm Try poking them with a toothpick. If it moves or pops it is worthless plating bubbles. You won't damage the value either way. Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 05/08/2021 10:39 pm It's called zinc rot. The cent will end up being dust. Moisture is a zinc cents worst enemy. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/08/2021 10:41 pm Someone poked it with a pin or needle and exposed the zinc. Thus the zinc rot is setting in. Definitely a spender. Report this Post to the Staff
Chip chatters Valued Member 184 Posts	Posted 05/08/2021 10:46 pm So what about the doubling on the reverse Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 05/08/2021 10:55 pm Where do you see doubling? (best to always tell us, thanks) Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/08/2021 10:55 pm The same issue. The swelling from the zinc rot. Even it if it were a doubled die, the zinc damage would turn this coin into a face value coin. The clock is ticking down on this coin. Edited by coop 05/08/2021 11:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Chip chatters Valued Member 184 Posts	Posted 05/08/2021 11:04 pm The doubling is all over the coin from the columns to the lettering. But the coin is over 30 years old and it seems to have held up pretty well. Do you have a similar example you could display because the rot seems to have hardened Report this Post to the Staff
