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

It’s not chemical
It’s mechanical - whizzed
One thing is certain. Those 1969 s double die observes are seldom seen.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15, KJV)
I have to give a double NO on that coin being a "double" die.

DDO. Deliberately Damaged Obverse.
