Tony S Valued Member 114 Posts	Posted 11/24/2019 02:40 am I think I see some doubling around the date and his portrait seems much thicker than other 92s I come across. It did weigh 2.6 while the other 10 or so were 2.5 which isn't a big deal and acceptable. I don't know if what looks like a 2nd eye by the bridge of his nose is PMD or not. The reverse definitely looks to be heavier in spots and theres 3 or 4 initials stamped on the edge. Just curious if what I'm seeing is anything more than typical damage.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 11/24/2019 03:18 am Tony, is what you were asking about the purple blotches? If so, I believe that is "zinc rot", found on nearly every zinc cents, some more than others. And it's weight of 2.6 is certainly within "normal" range (2.52 g) for a zinc cent. Your photos are looking good, Tony! Report this Post to the Staff
Tony S Valued Member 114 Posts	Posted 11/24/2019 07:09 am Appreciate the reply and compliment on my pics. No it's not the zinc rot. That mark that looks somewhat similar to an eye and just the general thickness of his face when compared to other 92s. And on the the reverse everything on the right side the m in America all the way down to the artists initials looks sloppy and thicker. Here's what I see faintly behind the date, you might wanna save it because it rivals Da Vinci Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/24/2019 8:23 pm All the single squeeze dies breakdown like this when the dies age. The fields are altered towards the closes rims. Date on the right. Liberty on the left. And the motto on the tops of the devices. Same thing happens on the reverse as well. No premium for these: Report this Post to the Staff
