1 cents and 2 cent, the soil at that spot just destroys them.
Old britainia pennys survive the best in that spots soil followed by silver.
Far out they sure have taken a beating. Amazing how the different base metals can help with some coins lasting in certain ground conditions and not others!
When that black coating on the nz penny dries out and falls off it will take off all the detail on that coin too.
A $3.50 spendies, $2 ozzy and a 1936 silver sixpence from the 3p Spot between the rainshowers today.
