incents13 New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 12/02/2022 3:24 pm These are the pictures I took, I can't figure out if that is supposed to be a D for Denver but in the wrong place or? And as for the Cud looking things, is that just from age? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 76395 Posts	Posted 12/02/2022 3:57 pm These are just plating bubbles, I'm afraid. to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog 12/02/2022 3:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Bedrock of the Community United States 15547 Posts	Posted 12/02/2022 4:01 pm Agreed, that is the zinc core corroding and expanding and breaking through the copper plating on the surface. Just like rebar does inside concrete Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 17969 Posts	Posted 12/02/2022 4:06 pm You have a combination of zinc rot and plating bubbles. Spend it before it gets worse. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 11242 Posts	Posted 12/02/2022 4:33 pm Agree with the above. Report this Post to the Staff
incents13 New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 12/02/2022 6:16 pm Ok, that's kind of what I was thinking, except for that one between the 9 and the 8, that is more of a cirlcle than a bubble. the center isn't raised up, just the part around the center. That looks like something else to me. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 17969 Posts	Posted 12/02/2022 8:31 pm That is the zinc rot that I mentioned. It was a bubble that has broken and now that the air is attacking the zinc, it is starting to rot. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10541 Posts	Posted 12/03/2022 03:16 am next stop zinc rot. Spend it while you can, there is no stopping zinc rot. ça va bien aller Report this Post to the Staff
