JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21624 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 8:18 pm Not sure what your question is. I assume you mean reverse in your heading. All I see is a partial coin with zinc rot. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96989 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 10:37 pm Zinc rot is the decay of the zinc core, first the copper plating bubbles up and them opens to expose the core, then the zinc will start to turn to dust - basically rust. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
