I have no idea what happened to this 1982 Lincoln Cent. I weighed it, checked in normal, but I am skeptical because of the silver on the rim. Any ideas?
1982 was the first year of the zinc core, so it's probably just post-mint damage that exposed the zinc. Looks like it just has a lot of scum/residue on it. Upon looking closer, it looks like it may have been spooned or the victim of a dryer.
