Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 06/25/2017 5:49 pm If you are referring to the black spot on the reverse, that is not zinc rot. And looks like its a slight MAD and the reverse letters are showing signs of a partial grease-filled die. Report this Post to the Staff

KittenLove Valued Member United States 158 Posts	Posted 06/25/2017 7:35 pm Thanks for the info....I really thought the black on reverse was zinc rot. The MAD thought so but wasn't for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 06/25/2017 9:32 pm with the above. The black looks like stains. Zinc rot looks more white or grayish and cruddy. You could help yourself a lot if you started cropping your pictures right to the coin. That makes more detail visible. You can use the image optimizer to crop. Here's an advanced stage of zinc rot for your reference. Report this Post to the Staff
