Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 04:01 am Looks like a major case of Zinc Rot! The copper plating on the coin has been damaged and the zinc core is corroding. This is a problem with the US One Cent coins starting in the second half of 1982. Spend it while you can still tell what it is! ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

They extend half way to the reverse. The top of the coin at Lincoln's head is visibly tapered thinner . In all events.. I'm keeping it. Lol Report this Post to the Staff
