Looks like heat damage. Could have been in the ground a while = environmental damage. Wait for other opinions...

 

This looks like a 1941. Like spirtyoda said, it may have took heavy environmental damage. The coin you have has historic value but is only worth one cent.

 

....and the other side?

 

It probably is 1941, but who cares! Spend it! ~ Chris

I almost forgot. Welcome to the neighborhood @Jackalope12 !

 

That coin led a hard life.

 

Thx for the replies, but really, no way it’s a 1. True that the coin has seen some very tough times!

 

Rode hard and put away wet... Welcome to CT

 

almost looks like 1943!

Wouldn't it be sad if a copper '43 looked like this

 

I agree that it looks like 1943 as well, but that's probably doubtful.

In any case, I love coins that are altered almost beyond recognition. This one qualifies. What a life that poor thing has had.

 

Oh yes, and now the other side....

 

So do we. It's a mess. I would throw it away and start over.

Also, when you're posting pictures.... don't click on Thumbnail, click on Full Image.

1941...Spark

 

In the condition that cent is in, what difference does the date make, unless it was 43 copper. LOL
