Khromtau Pillar of the Community United States 676 Posts	Posted 03/24/2023 12:16 am Damage, probably a parking lot coin that has turned into a bad case of zinc rot. Spend it while you still can! Report this Post to the Staff

We tell folks that eventually that the zinc coins will rot away eventually, well here is the proof of that.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/24/2023 4:58 pm I've always thought we need a topic with pictures of the most zinc rotted zincolns. oddguy, you jest, But I made part of my living for 45 years from mice. I rewind electric motors in Nebr. Irrigation motors out in the corn fields are where mice live. A rodents teeth grow throughout their life so they need to chew to wear them down. They will chew wire down to where it will short out the motor. My running joke is that it took me 20 years to train them to do this. Report this Post to the Staff
