Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/17/2011 2:38 pm I think it's just damaged. It looks as if the plating is missing at the mint mark. Maybe someone was trying to remove it. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15450 Posts	Posted 08/17/2011 6:08 pm Did you weigh it? Bet this is another 2.5 gram zincoln that is suffering from zinc rot at the MM location. Show us a close-up photo of the MM area ... I suspect the experts have already nailed this one. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 08/17/2011 6:41 pm Weighing the coin would do no good in diagnosing what it is. The weight really doesn't matter in this case. It's corroded around the mintmark. That's all. Report this Post to the Staff
jjper77 Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 08/17/2011 6:42 pm I can not get a close up picture of the mint mark, with the equiptment I have at the present time. I weighted it and it is 2.5 grams. I believe your right on, I think it is rot. Great learning coin. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
