Trudecadence New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 08/06/2021 09:30 am I was going through my change and found this penny it's got two rims it's almost sparkly the back side is tarnished in the background and some of the letters clash with the rim it also weighs about a quarter of a gram less than a zinc and it's a 1984 d. If you look on the left side of the double rim of the front it's actually got a silver color to it the whole Penny itself looks like a bronze or copper color Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19241 Posts	Posted 08/06/2021 10:32 am Yes, a common, worn '84 D cent--perhaps with a hint of Die Deterioration on the obverse and exposure to a caustic agent on the reverse. Some of the copper plating has eroded to show signs of the zinc core. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/06/2021 11:30 am A lot of zinc is exposed on the rim. So the circulation issue is more the the problem. Best to put this one back to work, as the zinc rot will be getting worse as more oxygen reaches the zinc layer. Report this Post to the Staff
