Thank you for the new pictures. This is a normal cent. You may want to flip the coin over to check the RDV...it may be another variety. But it...
Agreed. Do a Search on taking photos and then make another pass at getting us usable pictures. Right now, it's very difficult to make out...
That's a fun find! I've found 2 of them and a Type 1 1913 D. These oldies are out there floating about, unrealized.
I think it's environmental damage too. When you CRH, you are bound to find copper plated coins, nickel plated coins, silver/gold plated coins....
@Danomite Yes. One of the tell-tale signs on worn dies (LDS and VLDS especially) the outer devices are mushy (copper/nickel) or have that...
For this date/mm, there are DDRs, but they relate to the columns in the Memorial. Look there for clues. I don't see any myself, so this looks...
Science experiment perhaps or maybe environmental damage. [MEDIA]
@CoinCollector76 You describe a common event. Many folks only collect the older coinage. I did for a long time, but then I learned about...
It's been extremely mild on the shoreline here in Connecticut. I believe I can stick a plastic fork into the ground. To my knowledge, this has...
And spring is more than a month away...frogs and toads are deep in the mud right about now in these parts.

Looks like there may have been a very early cleaning to the coin as might be evident in the fields. Still, a fun coin to have!!
If you take 4 cents, lay one at the center and overlap it with 3 cents spaced 120° apart, add some coffee/coke/sunlight you'll reproduce that...
@DatDareNickelGuy Remember: open invitation to help you pickle those nickels. Some of us aren't as patient as you!!!:arghh::greedy:
@CoinCollector76 I did. Considering I scan my change for goodies I let a bunch slip past. Here is an excerpt from my post about a month ago:...
The photos are too blurry for me. Sharper images would help the diagnostic.
Looks like damage. It appears incuse from contact with another sharper/harder object. Chips will leave blobs that protrude above the field/device.
So I completed going through my pocket change that I accumulated for the past couple of years. I only had nickels left to do, so here are a few...
For your reference: [ATTACH]
Looks like a cleaned coin (long ago) that was placed on a hot source, perhaps a cast iron stove, where it took on a bit of a blue/purple tint. I...
