[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 3194242, member: 21705"]It probably circulated like that for about 50 years and then was lost or buried.There are indications that it actually isn't "worn" down as much as corroded like remnants of the eye and sharp dentilation. They used to do that a lot. It has expensive corrosion which makes me think that it may be a dug coin. There are lots of coins which have been found since the use of metal detectors, and many are in this condition. Plus, being copper, it wears faster than many other metals and you know how fast the old silver dimes wore down to almost nothing.[/QUOTE]
