[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 758396, member: 4350"]Hi, It is a coin that is what we call , environmentally damaged. That means that anything such as acid, or being buried, for example removed the plating after the coin left the Mint. In reality, soaking a zinc cent in your favorite cola flavored soft drink will actually cause the same effect over time. The size was altered , either by placing it between two pieces of leather and hammering it, or heat was used to expand the zinc. It is not an error of any kind. Thanks, Bill[/QUOTE]
