John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/17/2017 3:43 pm I don't see any zinc rot on the op's coin. Dies don't rot but they do rust. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/17/2017 4:03 pm Since condition is similar overall, it would be a planchet flaw, plating/annealing problem. Has to do with heating/cooling...too much heat, too fast cooling, situations like those. Coin has the pox! Report this Post to the Staff
Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 02/17/2017 9:20 pm Maybe OP meant Die Deterioration Doubling? I see some hints of it on the obverse, but it's everywhere on the reverse: on all of the text and along the memorial as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Jovian Valued Member United States 147 Posts	Posted 02/19/2017 01:18 am Bubbles aside, you do have a Die Crack from the rim under the FG into the base of the memorial. Also there is something going on directly under the memorial, this may be a crack of other wear. Also split plate above "TED STATES", the left edge of the memorial and DDD above E Pluribus Unum. This coin is loaded with worn die problems...Cool. Report this Post to the Staff
