CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 02/14/2016 8:46 pm Looks like it might be Zinc Rot, brought on by Split Plating. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 02/14/2016 8:54 pm Split-Plating occurs when the thin layer of copper is stretched over and around devices. This allows air to come in contact with the zinc - oxidation causes the Zinc Rot. The middle of 1982 they started copper-plating zinc planchets. Definitely not suitable for US coins.
