I’m not certain it’s genuine, but even if it is, it’s worth one cent. And not at all surprisingly, his 1982-D small date appears to be zinc, not bronze.

Damaged, found by someone who doesn't know anything about coins and who has watched too many "Get Rich Quick" youtube videos.
What do I win?
Looks like some one went to work on it with a wire wheel.
Looks more like someone hit it with a blow torch and rippled the metal. Just a damage cent.

I was browsing coins from 1969 and that one popped up. I was trying to figure out if it was a cast fake or just severely damaged somehow.
You win one agree.

Yep... not a DDO.... damaged coin.... worth a cent. Cheers, RickO
All scammer BS.

That type of damage to the surfaces used to be called “wizzed’
With extreme prejudice.
Looks etched to me
It’s not chemical
It’s mechanical - whizzed
One thing is certain. Those 1969 s double die observes are seldom seen.
“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong. I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” Albert Einstein- quoted in Saturday Evening Post interview (1929)
“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.” For Einstein, honesty was fundamental. Attention to truth in small things reflected a person’s integrity on a larger scale.
I have to give a double NO on that coin being a "double" die.

DDO. Deliberately Damaged Obverse.
