Searchinstacks New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/03/2020 08:23 am Only posted links to photos because I was unable to crop the photos down to a small enough size while still showing the majority of the coin, if I used links to imagur will a preview of the photo appear on the post?

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/03/2020 08:36 am I don't know. Did you use the free image optimizer here on CCF? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Searchinstacks New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/03/2020 08:42 am I did, ended up with a image only showing 1/4 of the coin at a time which I felt was not enough due to the nature of the coin. ill explore the imagur option as ive seen a few other posts with photos in that format. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/03/2020 2:08 pm When the plating gets punctured/split on the zinc cents, it is just a matter of time for them to breakdown. When you see the affect over years, then you will be more careful about not buying a coin that has plating issues. In the long run, the coin will continue to breakdown as time goes on.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19164 Posts	Posted 02/03/2020 3:31 pm Good example of zinc rot. Personally, I only acquire zinc-Lincoln cents through coin roll searching. I don't 'buy' any such coins individually--so far at least. Report this Post to the Staff
