Dearborn Moderator United States 97257 Posts	Posted 02/20/2023 8:17 pm Somebody took a pliers to it and broke off a piece. The remaining copper plating is bent in on both sides. Great pictures though. The zinc core looks like granite Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19202 Posts	Posted 02/20/2023 8:45 pm Yes, post-strike damage has exposed the zinc core--which will begin to 'rot' (deteriorate). I suspect die cracks are not present, given the images posted. Report this Post to the Staff
Reno911 Valued Member United States 316 Posts	Posted 02/20/2023 9:04 pm I'm going to agree I believe somebody took pliers to it or something. Many of those and I saw don't have the erosion that that one does and there's many other factors which the other person has already stated. Sorry Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 02/21/2023 8:09 pm Not seeing any chip. Doesn't matter. Damage makes this coin face value. Spend it before it rots away. Report this Post to the Staff
