Aftermathew Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 07/15/2016 10:19 am Is it broad struck or a misaligned die? Are those polishing scratches circling the obverse and reverse side? I think it has blistered plating with gas bubbles, some awesome die cracks, and on the reverse pluribus unum seems to have a spread Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/15/2016 10:31 am Until they figured out what the problem with the bubbles on the Zincolns, a lot looked bad during the earlier 80's. They determined it was a rinse issue with the zinc dust on the planchets before they were plated. Happens a lot less now days. If you find this on a variety, I would pass on them. Who knows for sure what will happen to them in the future. (probably just get worse looking) Wouldn't want to by a future problem coin and loose out when you go to sell it later on. Even at a reduced price, I would still pass on them. Report this Post to the Staff
