JTCC Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 11/12/2022 12:31 am It appears that this coin has been exposed to caustic substances which corroded the coin, and eaten away some of the metals, hence the light weight. Post mint damaged, no additional value above face value in this condition. Report this Post to the Staff
