That is just nasty gunk on your coin.

 

Oh Boy

 

Yep, looks like gum or glue. Other coins were pressed against it to give those reverse-indented images.

It's ordinarily a bad idea to clean coins, but you might have a hard time even spending this one if you don't.

 

Shoulda known better than to click eh?

 

On a positive note: Nice pictures

 

Ok well thanks for all the input.

 

looks like someone was building something with glued together pennies..

 

Your best hope is that if you get all that off, its a '99.

 

It's a copper. Wouldn't be a 99.

 

?

 

Your coin is from before 1982 and thus made out of 95% copper as opposed to 83 and above which are copper-plated zinc. 99 is referring to 1999. If yours was a 1999 it'd be worth a decent amount since it would be a wide AM.

EDIT: There are also copper-plated zinc 82's. They did the switch that year so there are both types for 1982.

 

Ya looks like a 1980- something.
92, 98,99 and 00 in case you did not know are good to search for close and far AM in America of course.

 

zero, PMD

 

Totally agree with jeffB. Someone had a lot of time on their hands.
