I'm willing to do anything as long as PCGS wouldn't grade it as "cleaned." I guess I want to "restore" it. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34448 Posts	Posted 04/20/2018 10:08 pm Rather than an RPM, it looks more like split copper plating is letting the zinc core start to corrode, much like the coin in this prior thread with an excellent explanation by @coop: http://goccf.com/t/113040 If so, then your coin is worth face value and therefore not worth sending to be slabbed.

shaney777 Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 04/02/2019 9:50 pm OMG an RPM is an RPM! Condition doesn't affect RPM rarity! That is, if it were an RPM, which it isn't. Report this Post to the Staff
