Bigwho808 Valued Member United States 192 Posts	Posted 06/16/2022 12:10 pm I disagree with the zinc rot. If it were zinc rot, it would be around the entire letters O, and N. Not shifted to one side. And the lettering is significantly raised. There seems to be some material underneath that part of the lettering. Report this Post to the Staff

HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 580 Posts	Posted 06/16/2022 1:33 pm Can't be a reverse die clash because there's nothing on the obverse side that would show up at the top of the O in ONE. Here's a link to a previous topic that has an overlay that shows this: http://goccf.com/t/301104 It's possible it's a scratch or gouge in the die, leaving a raised area on the reverse. Probably just as likely as a plating bubble, though. Report this Post to the Staff
