Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 11/27/2015 11:07 am I couldn't say if the copper plated zinc coins leave the mint that way or if the bubble(s) take time to show or form. I'm surprised they've stayed in tack this long and suspect they may have had a helping hand after minting, but have no clue as to how at this time. Thanks, Doug.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 11/27/2015 12:25 pm If you're keeping it, make a note to yourself to check it in about 6 months or a year. Take another pic and compare. I think it will continue to deteriorate no matter how you store it -- but I could be wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 11/27/2015 12:40 pm I find it odd that there are no bubbles on the reverse side. Report this Post to the Staff
chipjones Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 11/27/2015 1:57 pm the coin was not wiped clean before plating I have seen a lot of them and just put them back. not worth keeping IMHO. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 11/27/2015 2:34 pm I have seen a lot of them too. Usually both sides are affected. I'm not sure I understand how one side was well rinsed and the other not. Report this Post to the Staff
