First off, OMMs stopped in 1955 or 1956 so can not be that. It looks like a platting issue. John1  |

At the time of minting, the strike had a bit too much pressure causing the copper plating to split (outside lower curve of D) and now zinc rot is setting in....spender

As mentioned by many, this is a clear case of plating issues and/or zinc rot creating the effect.

So the "rot" is causing the raised line? What exactly do you mean rot? From what I'm used to outside the Coin World, rit usually caves inwards Edited by PNWHiker
