kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 08/12/2022 11:34 pm Welcome! I don't know what happened to that coin but it didn't happen at the mint. As such, not an error and not worth much of anything. At first glance is looks like a heavily corroded ground find, but the bi-color appearance suggests it was thickly plated or painted and then corroded. Tough to guess exactly what happened on a lot of these damaged coins. Give us an idea of what else is in this huge collection! Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6383 Posts	Posted 08/13/2022 11:37 pm Worn common-date Indian cents typically sell for about $1. The damage and corrosion makes this one worth even less. Report this Post to the Staff
JTCC Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 08/13/2022 11:49 pm I agree, this coin is post mint damaged. Valued at around 5 cents in this condition. Report this Post to the Staff
