coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/26/2013 7:10 pm Looks like the plating was split through by something? Looks like the zinc is deteriorating with the plating missing. I have a Cent that has a piece of plating on the inside of a mint set. You can see the plaing under the coin. It is still in the mint packaging. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/28/2013 05:25 am Kinda looks like a piece of tin foil(gum wrapper) stuck to the surface of the coin. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/28/2013 10:56 am It does look kinda "sunk" into the coin. Wonder if a acetone dip would answer your question? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
monika Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 05/28/2013 12:25 pm John...the dip did not change that area..The coin did get a bit more shinier.. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/28/2013 3:51 pm Then it must be a struck through? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
monika Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 05/30/2013 11:21 am So...that silver looking piece would be the zinc showing? or maybe something that's struck onto the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
CGCoins Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 05/30/2013 12:57 pm Could it be a Lamination Peel that fell off? Older Cents it is pretty "common" due to poor quality of metal. That was my first though, maybe the copper layer Peeled, was fell off, leaving the zinc layer exposed Report this Post to the Staff
jay4202472000 Pillar of the Community United States 853 Posts	Posted 05/30/2013 5:16 pm From what I have been told, lamination errors only occur on copper cents, not zinc. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/30/2013 6:41 pm I think lamination's are possible on zincolns. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
