Going to try if this is something you'd like to see. 2001 s NGC PF69 RD UC Have you seen this before? Common? Silver chip above S in states and silver doubling across T top bar. Silver doubling below top bar in cent. More, but will start with this. Thank you for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/21/2013 2:39 pm That would be split plating which has revealed the zinc core, more common on earlier Zincolns but still occasionally seen on newer issues as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Collector-Corner Pillar of the Community 872 Posts	Posted 11/21/2013 2:56 pm If it is NGC, maybe they photo'ed the coin. Check the Certification number here to see if photos exist. http://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/ BIO is probably right on about the strike of the coin being too strong and as I call it, "ruptures the skin" of the zinc cent. I have an older proof coin still in the proof set that has ruptured as well. One half the coin towards the date is pure black, the other side near LIBERTY is a normal proof coin. It suffered from a strong strike as well. Edited by Collector-Corner 11/21/2013 2:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/21/2013 8:06 pm Looks like you are referring to split plating? It is from the strike being to strong. Not a plus for the coins as when the zinc reach the air, it starts to deteriorate. Report this Post to the Staff
