looks corroded and cleaned up.

The copper cents survive being burried and dug out after many years with some corrosion but the zinc ones turn into dust.

Good idea Ed. I knew it wasn't acid as the rims are the first thing to disappear on them and this one has the full rim. So I was at odds to think of anything else. If it is a 1973 then it should have the large FG on the reverse initials.
