RickyTan New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 12/09/2017 10:44 am The photos of the 1989-D Lincoln Penny shows exposure of zinc on the date/United/America after strikes. Is this a common variety? Is there value to these varieties? Also, is it common to see the "S" in States and "o" in of get shaved off? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Zinc rot, plating blisters, split plating around devices are all very commonly seen on these Zincolns and are considered damage and they are not a variety and they are spendable at no added premium. Soon you will start noticing other issues commonly seen around the MMs as well, here is a good read provided by one of our experts Coop:http://goccf.com/t/168585#1550797 Report this Post to the Staff
