CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 05/29/2012 12:49 pm Not an error, just zinc rot. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 05/29/2012 1:10 pm It's not zinc rot. It's blistered plating. Plating blisters are hollow while domes pushed up by zinc rot are solid. Plating blisters result from a poor bond between the copper plating and the zinc core. Subsurface corrosion caused by contaminants trapped between core and plating are responsible for the solid domes of corroded metal. Domes pushed up by subsurface corrosion are generally larger and fewer in number than plating blisters. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/29/2012 1:46 pm I would not call that any kind of planchet error, more like poor quality control by a third party vendor(Jarden Zinc produces Zincoln planchets for the US Mint). Report this Post to the Staff
