Titles are Important! * Pictured is a 1986-D with what appears to be doubling on the mint mark (lower right of the mark). Potential doubling on the outside left of the monument, and this odd nub left of the "FG" What do you think? Thanks!! Edited by Loupe_DeVille 02/26/2019 9:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/26/2019 9:54 pm The issue was with the strike. The plating was split perhaps from a strong strike. Exposing the zinc under the plating. Not a keeper. Time is not a friend to these coins. Spendable. Report this Post to the Staff

Loupe_DeVille New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 02/26/2019 10:56 pm Thanks, is zinc rot the cause of those little warts you see on pennies? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 02/27/2019 12:35 am Yes, deterioration of the zinc core and cause the copper plating to bulge (as it has near the mintmark on your coin). However, there are other causes of "warts" as well. One example would be linear plating bubbles.
