jay4202472000 Pillar of the Community United States 853 Posts	Posted 09/30/2013 10:34 pm DrDon, you overlooked #4. #5 is the zinc rot coins. #4 has either been encased in something or has some kind of collar error going on. Let me look around a second cosmos. I can't find anything. My best guess is that it was encased at some point in time. I don't know why a 1984-D would be but that is my best guess. Wait on a pro. Good luck. Edited by jay4202472000 09/30/2013 10:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/01/2013 08:29 am Coin #1 I think is over polishing of the die.Keep the LAM and spend the rest,IMHO. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
cosmoscoins Valued Member 164 Posts	Posted 10/01/2013 5:19 pm I wonder what the #4. Penny is?Thanks for the info guys...How does the LAM happen?Cosmos Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/01/2013 5:34 pm #4 was encased,framed with a ring for jewelry.LAM is caused by a poor metal mix. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 10/01/2013 10:21 pm Most of the zincolns that I dig out of the ground show severe "zinc rot". These have probably spent some time at least an inch under. Report this Post to the Staff

If the letters "DCM" are on the reverse, it means that I was the one who counterstamped them. Report this Post to the Staff
