1923 Copper Penny ICG Hurricane Milton Salvaged$97

1923 Copper Penny ICG Hurricane Milton Salvaged $27 This is a 1923 copper penny, encapsulated by ICG (Independent Coin Grading). The label indicates it is a "Genuine" coin that was "Hurricane Milton Salvaged," implying it was recovered from a location affected by Hurricane Milton. The label also bears the signature of Austin Hutto, President of ICG. The coin itself appears to be in circulated condition, with visible wear and some discoloration. The encapsulation protects the coin from further environmental damage and preserves its condition as it was found after the hurricane. The "Hurricane Milton Salvaged" designation adds a unique element to its provenance, potentially appealing to collectors interested in coins with historical or unusual backgrounds. Condition: The coin exhibits significant wear and environmental damage, likely due to its submersion during Hurricane Milton. Details are worn, and the surface shows corrosion and discoloration. The coin's overall appearance suggests a low grade. Mint: The mint mark is not discernible from the image, so the mint location cannot be determined. Metal Content: The 1923 copper penny is composed of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. Historical Context: The coin's association with Hurricane Milton adds a unique historical context, though the storm itself is not a well-known event in numismatic history. The "Hurricane Milton Salvaged" designation by ICG attempts to capitalize on this unique provenance. Collector Value: Due to the coin's poor condition, its intrinsic collector value is minimal. The "Hurricane Milton Salvaged" designation might add a slight novelty value for some collectors interested in unusual or disaster-related items, but this is unlikely to significantly increase its worth beyond the base metal value. Strike Type: The strike type is not discernible due to the coin's condition. Grading: No grade is provided on the slab. The condition of the coin appears to be Poor (PO-1) or Fair (FR-2).
