Dearborn Moderator United States 99205 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 9:54 pm GOODNESS Gracious! what happened here? lots of zinc showing. This looks like a plating issue, the ones on the revers appears to have the same arc as another cent. I wonder if 2 planchets were resting on top of this one during the plating process. (just a guess) I'm going to have to research the mints plating process to see if that is even possible. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Spence Moderator United States 34456 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 10:19 pm No die chips, just peeled up copper plating and exposed zinc. I don't see why this wouldn't just be considered damage.
