biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/17/2014 12:20 pm It does not really matter how it happened, there are innumerable ways to breach the copper plating of a Zincoln. All that matters is that there is no process in the Mint that could create such an ugly abomination. Report this Post to the Staff
Domain555 Pillar of the Community United States 1804 Posts	Posted 03/17/2014 12:30 pm Biochemist.......... Respectfully, Is there any planchet (blank) issue that may have been a contributing factor. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/17/2014 12:43 pm No, none at all. Even if the plating was breached at the Mint(a common occurrence during striking which forms split plating doubling on outer devices), the zinc rot would have happened in the wild.
