Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 11:19 am It's a Texas Cent. Someone placed it between two pieces of leather(?) and pounded it. This stretched the diameter slightly and caused the loss of the copper layer. The zinc is now reacting to moisture in the environment by turning dark and beginning to corrode.

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 11:59 am Yes a fun find even though it is just worth face value. Keep this Texas Cent as an oddity if you want.
