nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 11/10/2022 10:37 pm I see only zinc rot, worth 1 cent and declining as it turns to zinc oxide, but there are error coins circulating out there so keep looking Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 11/10/2022 10:44 pm @clem, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree that your cent is showing areas that are missing rage copper plating and showing the underlying zinc core. This coin would be a spender for me.

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 11/10/2022 10:49 pm Coin has been cleaned, which you never do if you did? And has rot as mentioned, only worth one cent until it rots away. Report this Post to the Staff
