QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 09/02/2019 11:36 pm Is this Zinc showing through? I can't tell if it's heating damage or a plating error of some kind. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 09/02/2019 11:42 pm Maybe. I was pretty sure it was damage, but wanted to be sure. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 08:13 am It's a grayish color. I don't see any other evidence of polishing or damage so I'm not sure whaat it could be. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 08:56 am It is toning. Some of those proof Zincolns just tone that way. Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 08:57 am Interesting toning. Thanks for the help Conder101! Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7077 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 12:08 pm I was leaning towards incomplete plating issue (if the color was gray/black) I have a 2009S mint set (in OGP) that is toning, but the colors are more blueish/purple..... Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 12:50 pm It's be nice to have a proof error. I'm hoping it's a plating issue. Report this Post to the Staff

Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 1:16 pm I wonder if it was stored in a holder with a material that only touched the high spots on the obverse, causing the color change. Dan Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 1:49 pm That may be, but it's seems like an error to me. I hope it's a legit error. I'm gonna try to get better pics later. If this is a plating error, would it be considered an incomplete plating error? Edited by QuarterHoarder72 09/03/2019 5:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 7:38 pm Here are some new pics. Hope they are better. I have my high hopes that this is an error! Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 09/03/2019 8:08 pm This is the last batch of pics, I promise. Sorry I'm asking so much! Hope these help identify what happened to my coin. Report this Post to the Staff
