<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 4964039, member: 43872"]Sorry, but it looks like damage. Definitely everything I can see on the obverse is damage, most likely hit by a car in the road. The picture is not clear on the reverse, but it looks like that was the side that was pushed into a hard surface. I find the difference between the colors on the obverse and reverse interesting, as if it lay on that road or parking lot long enough for the up side to be exposed more to the elements than the down side. Also, although it is not obvious, you mention it is all raised. If it were hit hard enough, the plating could have detached from the underlying zinc and given a raised look. If so, I would expect some give when given a gentle push. I am certainly no expert, so this may be totally wrong, although as a bicyclist I have seen a great many road-kill cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
