coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/18/2019 11:10 pm That is called a Linear plating bubble. Happened during the strike. No premium for this though. Report this Post to the Staff
Al85 New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 04/18/2019 11:18 pm I see. I knew about the bubbling, not this type though. Does make sense. Thank you coop. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/18/2019 11:26 pm Most of the time when they flow across the whole coin, we call them Linear examples. If it is just a bubble, we call them that. Best way to test on these is to take a toothpick and try to press it down. Note the bubble flow right over the design and field easily.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 04/18/2019 11:38 pm You'll see this a lot on the Copper plated Zinc planchets. It is a very common issue. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Al85 New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 04/19/2019 12:03 am The first time I really saw the issues with the zinc coins was a few weeks back when I found an 84 p cent but I thought might be a misplaced D because it looked like a d but was really south and close to Abraham's bust. Come to find out, with Robert Lawsons help, that it was zinc rot. Man, I have so many questions, which I think I know might not be errors, but not 100% sure. I guess I can say that, after like a year of wanting to open a profile here, I'm happy I finally did. Everyone's been so helpful and quick to reply. Report this Post to the Staff
