I can' seem to get the right angle for pics but looking with a loupe it is clear and is a stairstep. Correct me if I am wrong all comments are appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 09/07/2012 12:18 pm I suspect this is Die Deterioration. You are seeing the zinc under the coating. I first noticed this on the cents in my modern proof sets. Unfortunately, that find ruined my respect for moderns. Report this Post to the Staff
sab3927 Valued Member United States 163 Posts	Posted 09/07/2012 12:34 pm Could be Die Deterioration or a clad planchet with a really thin coating of copper, enough to shove the zinc through from a little die chatter. Report this Post to the Staff

After a while looking at coins and staying on the forum, you'll soon be able to tell a real DD or error from those that aren't. Report this Post to the Staff

Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 09/07/2012 4:52 pm That is a plating problem found on many of the zinc cents...even proofs . Report this Post to the Staff
