[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3525085, member: 10461"]Merged the duplicate threads. As mentioned, that is a modern zinc cent that has been severely ground up. That is all. The damage exposed the inner zinc core. Post-1982 cents are mostly zinc, with only a thin outer layer of copper. This zinc core gets exposed any time the copper plating is scratched or scraped away (or filed, as in this case). Someone did their best to murder that coin, and did a good job of it.[/QUOTE]
