RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 11:19 pm Thanks samcoin. I guess it could be zinc rot although I don't think so considering how defined the circles are but I'm no expert Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 06/08/2020 07:23 am @rw, the best way to determine if you have a die clash is with the use of an overlay. Then you know if whatever detail you are seeing matches up with a design element from the other side. I agree that these shapes seem unusual.

RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 06/08/2020 10:59 am Thanks spence. Not sure how to do an overlay on the phone so I go online or to coops page. Hopefully I find this coin soon so I can show obverse/ reverse aren't corroded Report this Post to the Staff
