Miss Maldita New Member Canada 8 Posts	Posted 10/01/2019 05:03 am The sides are understandable, could be from my mother's "piggy bank".. But the dot-like things are elevated.. My friend suggested a pawnshop, and I had it checked. Pawnshop Guy said I might be on to something but first, he wants it professionally graded. I don't know what to do. Do you guys think it's worth it? Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 10/01/2019 06:17 am It's zinc rot. Corrosion is happening beneath the copper plating of your coin and causing the bubbles. We've seen it countless times before. Absolutely no one here will agree with Pawnshop Guy. You're welcome. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
