Titles are Important! * This is a GREAT forum that has helped me immensely in going through THOUSANDS of coins I inherited. I have almost completed going through Lincoln pennies and was hoping for someone to tell me if this is completely normal to see the zinc showing through around the mint mark on the attached penny photo. For a split moment I thought I had finally come across a doubled die coin! Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

Yes it is very common on Zincolns to see Zinc showing through at spots, yours is no different and it is caused by * split plating* Edited by Chase007 11/28/2017 7:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/28/2017 7:12 pm Yes, it happens quite frequently. It's called split-plating and is caused by a copper layer that is too thin or high striking pressure (or both).
