After the split happens, it allows air to work on the zinc and the exposed area can rise.

Oh boy I sure do love fingerprints. Adds a very nice texture and grainy feeling to the coin. Perfect for slabbing too!  |

Haha good one Dave! I was CRHing today and all I kept getting were 2020 Shield Cents and it was driving me insane. So I decided to press my thumb all over the coin and then just toss it.  Not a very good hunt today haha. Edited by SilverCents

Same, very true it is very annoying and just plain boring sometimes. Yep that's right! If I don't find AT LEAST one single DDO, I'm going to flip my table. |

After the first 5 rolls if you find nothing, you will find nothing different except error coins. (one of a kind errors)
