I'm 99% sure this is a penny but I've never seen one corrode like this b4 I found 2 of them the same day is it possible that its not a penny and if so any ideas what it is. Thanks

I've found silver coins that I concluded were in a fire or exposed to heat do that.

Thats a penny or was, the zinc is corroding. They do that when they are in water and sometimes if they are in a fire. The zinc ones just do not last in the ground.

Its a weird coin for sure. Drop it on a table it sounds lead. But I'm sure ur right about the fire.

 

[Ant]

Oh and copper cents exposed to fertilizer and or salts can do that too.
