Been carrying George in my pocket since he came out like 6 yrs ago. The lettering is mostly gone on the obverse. The back held up much better, and the lettering on the edge has held up fairly well. Sorry the pic is sideways and that I didn't post a pic of the reverse or the edge.
Correct me if I'm mistaken , but aren't these composed of zinc with a brass coating ? If that's the case - we should be seeing these detected in the
appalling condition that we are accustomed to finding zincolns in .
