Unfortunately, the clean areas are meaningless because they are surrounded by oxidation. There! I didn't say the "C" word! Chris
It looks like there might be a die crack above the maple leaf to the left of "1." Of course, that's in addition to the corrosion...
Oops, you said the forbidden word, mac266. Jipes, that coin is UGLY! I think it could be contagious. Steve
Reminds me of the start of a Shel Silverstien poem titled "Sick" if i remember correctly... ""I cannot go to school today said little Peggy Ann Makay. I have a fever and the mumps, a gash, a rash and purple bumps""... (Don't think that's verbatim as I haven't read it since childhood but I'm sure it's darn close)
Looks like someone set their penny to close to where they were welding. But I didn't say corrosion. :>) Or maybe someone thought the queen was having cardiac arrest and tried to jump start her.
Ooooooooooo I know I know I know! It's coroison! (I spelled it with one r so technically I didn't say it)
