Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 3:10 pm @clvr87, no complaints about the quality of these pics, but it is helpful to orient them all so that we don't need to crane our necks. For this coin, I'm wondering if this circle is raised or sunk below the surface of the coin. Thx.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 10:56 pm Sometimes if you use daylight or light from one angle (not overhead) it works to cut the glare on shiny coins. See it that helps. From what I can see, it looks like zinc rot. Small bubbles op up through the copper plating from the zinc core. Sometimes zinc dust settles before the plating occurs.
