spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/12/2017 10:16 pm Since this coin is copper-plated zinc, sometimes the plating is too thin and when the coin is struck, the plating splits under the pressure and shows the underlying zinc core (grey color). It is not uncommon to see on the mintmark and will be in the direction of the rim (southeast in this case). I'm not an expert on repunched mintmarks (RPMs) so maybe someone else will give an opinion. Clearer pics of it may be needed, I don't know. I hope that helps.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/13/2017 3:30 pm It is a split plating issue. When this happens on the mint mark it is on the SE edge most of the time. (very common to find these in circulation) Report this Post to the Staff
