Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 07/22/2013 5:30 pm Hi all, I assume this is due to a bad planchet (material). First time I ever found one like this. I also assume it has no value...as per usual. Thanks for looking Report this Post to the Staff

albertharris Pillar of the Community United States 901 Posts	Posted 07/22/2013 5:34 pm I have several 83's like that; some are clipped, some not. Zinc has been attacked by a solution. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 07/22/2013 5:40 pm So it may have started off as a clip and then something ate at it. Makes sense to me. Maybe saltwater I was thinking. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/22/2013 7:37 pm I don't think it started out as a clipped planchet because I see no Blackly effect at all. Just heavy zinc rot,spend it quick. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 12:34 am John1 - is that the pushed down or squeezed affect around the edges of the clip? thanks Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 08:17 am It's a flattened area opposite the clip. John Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/23/2013 12:25 pm Not a bad planchet, just what happens when the zinc starts corroding. Environmental damage. Report this Post to the Staff
