Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 10/04/2024 7:01 pm There is an arc roughly the same as a cent on the obverse and under that arc, it would seem has the worst damage. I'm thinking it was buried for a while with another cent and the dirt (or what ever) that was trapped corroded the cent more than other areas. But I'm thinking that the soil (or what ever) was highly acidic. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7620 Posts	Posted 10/04/2024 7:16 pm Serious environmental damage. Needs to be taken out of its misery. Just take it to a cemetery and place it next to a headstone. May it now "Rest In Peace" in dignity as it served its country well! Report this Post to the Staff
