I've got ten pictures right now, I tried to highlight every area with an irregularity the best I can with a phone and 60x loupe. The amount of spots is astounding to me, I've never seen something like this. All opinions welcome, is this a known error? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 12/21/2019 06:59 am @hokuto, when there are linear plating bubbles, they can be depressed with a wooden toothpick, but in this case the deteriorating zinc may have expanded somewhat and so these are more solid.
