coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/25/2014 4:53 pm Those are water spots under UNITED. John1 is correct about the gas under the plating. In the 1980's zincolns a lot of them looked like that till they perfected the rinse technique on the zinc planchets before plating. Still show up even today from time to time.
