bhauck86 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Hoping to find out any type of information on this coin. I have never come across anything like it before. That is the actual color of coin, silver/grey. The only places where copper color is visible is on the cheek of Lincoln and in a few spots on the outter edges of coin. Not sure if this is a grease filled die maybe? or what exactly is going on with it. the reverse of coin almost resembles the reverse of an Indian Head cent. but i dont see that being a possibility. Any type of help or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced. Ohh i did weight the coin, its 3.1 grams. I know copper should be 3.11g my scale doesn't read to the thousandth.

Greenstang Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Just a badly damaged coin. Sometimes you may never know exactly what happened to a damaged coin but if all you need to know is that it could not have happened during the striking of the coin so it is PMD Link to post Share on other sites
Coinbuf Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I agree with what everyone has said, just a damaged coin that was painted or plated the silver/gray color which has been worn off in places. Link to post Share on other sites
