MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2001 Posts	Posted 03/30/2025 10:55 pm Is it just the lighting or is that a copper plating flaking off of a zinc core on the reverse pic? Also it looks like something had been tooled off below that center of the memorial. Perhaps the word "copy"? Edited by MisterT 03/30/2025 11:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1655 Posts	Posted 03/31/2025 04:22 am I'm pretty sure I see zinc blisters on the obverse. Try another scale with known accuracy. Report this Post to the Staff
