NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17918 Posts	Posted 08/29/2018 3:17 pm I think that moisture has got in between the bronze cladding and the steel core, causing the latter to corrode. British 1p and 2p coins are made of bronze-clad steel. My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21600 Posts	Posted 08/29/2018 3:40 pm Just followed the OP's wording and called it zinc rot without thinking. Of course it can't be zinc rot as British Coins along with Canadian Coins use steel cores. But as NumisRob stated it is still corrosion. What would it have chipped of off if it was a die chip? I have never seen a die chip that looked like a blob. Edited by JimmyD 08/29/2018 3:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
