Any ideas why they would turn this color and if it adds value at all? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/16/2017 7:05 pm Any miniscule break in in the thin copper outer layer caused in minting process, exposes the inner zinc to the air and moisture...causing " zinc rot", deterioration.
