I'm sure this one was indoors until just recently. I found one down here and it was badly rusted; and it was in a bag of wheaties i bought at a yard sale!
I don't think one would last long outdoors down here.

Just saw your post! great finds, they look fresh as daisies, seems to me the collectible coins must have been indoors until the building was demolished. Good job getting 'em out of there.

not sure..but,maybe they were between the walls from the old construction crew dropped them back in 1947 because each of them were no more than 2 inches deep in the muck..so its possible some construction guys back then dropped them when they were building these duplexes

Steel pennies are really hard to locate in the ground..
