coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/11/2014 02:21 am On the motto that is machine damage or Die Deterioration. Seen a lot on the 80's Zincolns. On the date it looks like coin contact flattened the tops of the 88. Spendable Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/11/2014 07:24 am I have seen more then a few of these and wondered what it is also.

AMB Pillar of the Community United States 801 Posts	Posted 10/11/2014 10:20 am @john: you are right,,,,maybe a characteristic of the alloy (zinc)? Almost like it "falls in the center" like baked goods after you take it out of the oven....(just s description of the appearance not implying in any way that's what happens).
