retiredairforce2009 New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 05/25/2017 12:16 am Going through my extra mint sets and checking for varieties and came across this penny. The only "corrosion" on this penny is in the SE where the possible PRM would be located. The penny is still in the mint cellophane and as far as I can tell, the seal is still intact. Would the corrosion be on the exposed zinc? Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/25/2017 12:33 am You are correct. The plating was split and now the exposed zinc is corroding. I have no idea how much more it will corrode with the available oxygen in that sealed pouch.

retiredairforce2009 New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 05/25/2017 12:37 am Here is another 1985 D that has the same split without corrosion. The zinc is silver colored under the microscope but not in the picture. So are these PRM's or something different? Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/25/2017 12:45 am When asking about RPM's, it's best if you give at the least a pix of date and mintmark. Positioning, angles, all go into attributing process. Also shooting through plastic distorts too much. Only thing I can compare to is this: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=lds May not even be an RPM tho. Report this Post to the Staff
retiredairforce2009 New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 05/25/2017 12:51 am Crazy, I hear ya on the plastic distortion, but I prefer to try and keep my mint sets whole and undisturbed. I will uncrop the pics to include date for further evaluation. Report this Post to the Staff

MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 05/25/2017 04:01 am To the CCF!! They both look like a split plating issue. Not RPM's IMO. The one with the corrosion probably has a tiny hole somewhere in the OGP. Edited by MontCollector 05/25/2017 04:02 am Report this Post to the Staff
