Wrenes Valued Member United States 204 Posts	Posted 03/08/2019 12:35 am I'm a newbie who's trying to figure out everything possible about the coin. First even though there is zinc rot is grading possible? If so what is the grade? Report this Post to the Staff

Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 03/08/2019 10:51 am RD = Red That's an odd strike, isn't it? Although the devices are sharp it appears to be off center in the pics. Not enough to be a broadstrike - or is it? I can't tell if the rim is incomplete or nae...

Wrenes Valued Member United States 204 Posts	Posted 03/09/2019 02:00 am I thought the minute bubbling seen on surface indicated some kind of zinc reaction taking place. No outward signs similar to most of my other 1980 Lincoln's. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19963 Posts	Posted 03/09/2019 12:09 pm The bubbling you see is simply called "plating bubbles", it's not "rot" until the plating cracks and exposes the underlying zinc core.
