mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2742 Posts	Posted 09/28/2016 5:52 pm Zinc cent planchets are hard on dies, so this form of Die Deterioration is far more common among zinc cents than other U.S. issues. However the same phenomenon is seen occasionally on other denominations and can be found in many other countries. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/29/2016 12:37 pm Well the information is a quote from Mike. So cudos to him. Did you note something about the image of your coin? The original image had not tops and bottoms to the rim of the first picture. From the other images I was able to created the full image of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
