Skippy72 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 6:00 pm Good evening all. I was just looking at one of these coins that I had put away in a box full of them and come across this 1998 and the image in the background is raised, if that's what it is. I know I see bubbling but I read that there is a foreign planchet in this year as well. I tried looking that image (Lion maybe? p to match that image but I had no luck so I figured I would put it in your hands and you would be able to tell me what it is hopefully here are a few pictures which my focusing is not too good with this camera on my phone but it's the best I have right now.I thank you in advance.

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 6:06 pm It's just zinc rot and corrosion, not an error or a foreign planchet. This is what happens when the zinc core becomes exposed to the air or water for too long. Report this Post to the Staff
