Lots of what look like tiny bullet holes. Pic 1 shows the "I" and the 3 have what I would guess to be air pockets underneath.

In pic 9 there is a small demon looking character popping out of the broken 3.

Reverse has no damage except pic 10, otherwise looks normal.

Those bullet holes in your Lincoln may have been caused by an acid

Plating splitting. Not a good thing for the Zincolns.

Someone did this before with the photos, uploading photos after linking them, using the same photo name. Causing the newer upload to take the place of the previous image uploaded.

One of the more interesting examples of "zinc rot"... corrosion, maybe aided by a bit of electrolysis... (pocket change and fish and chips with vinegar don't mix)
