JoeyZ76 Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 11/28/2012 10:23 am Fred Weinberg says: the zinc core shows thru because the metal has been flattened out during the 'squeeze'. The copper plating thins out, exposing the zinc core in those areas. PMD, without question. so its a squeeze job not an error Report this Post to the Staff

Finding a broadstruck Zincoln without exposed zinc can actually be quite a challenge, especially for examples with a very large spread. Report this Post to the Staff
