biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/04/2013 12:47 pm It is caused by zinc corrosion underneath the copper plating. Eventually, the plating is breached and zinc rot sets in Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/04/2013 2:35 pm As far as I know, no one collects these. Yet. LOL They really look interesting when they flow over devices: Both images are from the same coin. In the field and across the devices. Edited by coop 10/04/2013 7:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jcuve Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 10/04/2013 7:44 pm Plating blisters form during the strike - probably from contaminants on the surface of the zinc planchet prior to plating. The contaminants gas from the heat and pressure of the strike. One can see this on off center struck plated Lincolns. The struck portion will have blisters, whereas the adjacent unstruck portions will not. The unplated Lincoln shows the striations on the sheet metal, which is why I believe many blisters are linear and often parallel. But not always. Report this Post to the Staff
