coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/05/2020 7:05 pm Not a plus for the coin. The plating has split on that area. When this happens it exposes the zinc and it starts to rise. The breakdown continues on these until the coins zinc eventually all goes away. Not a keeper, but a spender. Also a deal breaker for a coin you might buy. The time bomb is counting down on these cents. Report this Post to the Staff
