The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 04/30/2015 5:36 pm The coin has suffered severe Rolling Machine Damage. However, the MM may be different. I can't really tell from the pictures. Can you get some that are more close-up? Report this Post to the Staff

Jwmurders Valued Member United States 88 Posts	Posted 04/30/2015 7:00 pm So would it have been a bubble or? Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 04/30/2015 7:14 pm Looks like there is still a bubble inside of the D. You could give it a poke with a toothpick or just wait to see what happens. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/30/2015 7:15 pm The plating was split on the SE part of the mint mark. Now air is has reached the zinc, it is starting to deteriorate. This usually starts off as a raised area, then it starts breaking down the zinc, then circulation flattens that area. Not a pretty site. Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 04/30/2015 7:16 pm Perhaps, but most of the sunken effects I see under the scope are accompanied by plate splitting. Generally, you can look through the split and see various stages of hydrozincite. It is possible it was a blister that split the plate and then sunk in. Report this Post to the Staff
