Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/22/2019 6:45 pm Right, zinc rot and a spender for sure, like so much of the junk that the US mint spews out every day. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/22/2019 6:50 pm The zinc planchets are plated with copper. When the plating is split, the zinc deteriorates when oxygen reaches the zinc. Breaking down. It is the beginning of the end for the coin. Not a good thing. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74060 Posts	Posted 08/22/2019 7:23 pm Zinc rot, PSD. The Copper plating getting pierced, causing the zinc core to get exposed. PSD. Unfortunately, it's a spender. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
