merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 1:56 pm Year doesn't really matter on this totally destroyed Lincoln Memorial cent which looks to be intentionally useless. It is so damaged it's no longer currency and has no numismatic value any longer. Post pitch it and forget it. Without question post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94705 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 3:38 pm this 1998 ZINC cent is infected. Zinc rot is what we call it. Bubbles of zinc dust under the copper plating burst open and the zinc started corroding away. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
