I have a 1953 rosie that was discovered by metal detector in N.J. after tropical storm Sandy where a boardwalk used to be.The sand and saltwater stripped away the silver laminate fully exposeing it bronze core.I used to carry it around to stump people for fun.Never bothered to tack pictures of it.It even has little flecs of green tarnish in the reeding to indicate copper in its alloy core.It would probably grade as environmentaly damaged so I never bothered.It's funny because the strike looks good..

Why would a 90% silver coin have a "bronze core"? Did you mean 1973 or some other post-silver date?
Salt water is brutal to modern coins.

The coin is absolutely double struck. Whoever told you it was damaged doesn't know much about errors from a screw press. I would be happy to backup my opinion with my checkbook.
Congratulations on owning such a cool piece!

90% is 90%,still have 10 % which is a thin laminate and a copper/silver(a black bronze) alloy core.This coin
stumped me for months until I read about precious metal alloys,....gets them every time..lol.

Found this in change

I found this searching cent rolls from the bank, looking for wheaties.
Not sure how it fit in the roll wrapper though.
PS. I know the photos are not top notch.
