Eventually the coin will all become useless when this happens. So buy a variety with an issue of split plating. In time, you money will go away in zinc rot. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 01/05/2019 9:11 pm @JLam, of course the letters are raised on these coins. Are you maybe asking whether or not the relief is higher than usual? I do see that the E and S of STATES are weakly struck, perhaps due to grease in the die. @coop just beat me to posting. Now that he mentions it, I do see some split plating too. Is that what you were talking about?
