seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 3:21 pm I found this in the first roll of my latest brick for this week. What kind of error is this? It does not seem to be affecting the devices. I wish I knew more about errors. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 4:09 pm I want to say it's a lamination error -- but I'm not sure. Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 4:13 pm {quote]Delamination of plating, more commonly referred to as zinc rot.[/quote] I am not sure about that. The light areas you see appear to be verdigis, not exposed zinc. And if it wer zinc rot how come the devices are not affected? Edited by seal006 02/10/2016 4:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 4:17 pm Maybe struck though a piece of copper foil or a piece of dropped plating scrap. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 02/10/2016 4:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 8:40 pm Zinc cents don't laminate, but with the gold color there it may have been struck through a piece of foil from another coin. So if the plating was missing, then the color would be gray. But it is there, so it must have had something blocking the strike on that area. Report this Post to the Staff

seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 02/11/2016 07:12 am Coop, where is whatever it is struck through on the devices? Look at the image you posted. You can see the foreign object on the devices as well. On the coin I posted it does not show that. I feel it is struck through, I just want to be sure.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/11/2016 3:22 pm Okay, just trying to understand this: In coop's pics it seems that the struck-through debris is still on the coin until you get to the E D and there it seems to have broken away. Is that what happened to seal's coin? Debris missing under 2 0 and present at 0 5? Report this Post to the Staff
