Newguy87 Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 07/09/2018 1:40 pm I think this cent has a die chip in the b on liberty and a chip above the I in the word in. My question is about the mint mark is this a d over d or just damage?I originally thought damage but I noticed the d don't look damaged and it kinda looks like a line in the d for a different d. Thank you for looking. Can't wait to hear what you guys say. I'm confused on this one. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75268 Posts	Posted 07/09/2018 2:25 pm That's Zinc Rot on the mint mark, from the Copper plating being broken. That's a Die Chip in the "B" of "LIBERTY", caused by a Broken Die Post. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/09/2018 3:51 pm By why did zinc rot set in? Because the plating on that area was split. When a split happens, then the zinc is exposed. Then the oxygen reacts with the zinc and makes the area swell: So the area is affected. E&V had the correct answer, I just added a bit to help you to visualize what caused the issue. Report this Post to the Staff
