[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2971140, member: 10461"]Due to the rolled-up rim, my guess is that it is a "[URL='https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=143863']dryer coin[/URL]", and as a result of its tumbling inside a dryer or similar piece of machinery, it also lost its copper plating, exposing the inner zinc core. (As [USER=91246]@Dave363[/USER] mentioned, modern Lincoln cents since 1982 have all been 95% zinc with only a 5% outer layer of copper.) PS- I just read the part about you finding it in a laundromat.
