NTesla Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 10/14/2020 01:35 am Sorry, no expert. I can see stuff that clearly looks doubled even though it may not be but I see some pics that's like "I don't see anything" but are DD. Reason I'm here, I can read but that doesn't mean another opinion or two. Because I am leary. Honestly, I've heard "BIE" in coin collecting but I have never seen a pic that clearly shows that. That's why I'm asking all here because I don't know if coming or going at times. Ty. Edited by NTesla 10/14/2020 01:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

NTesla Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 10/16/2020 12:11 am Yeah so I see. Definitely 80s were a bit of challenge for the mint. I appreciate your guys' input because I think I know, but need 2nd opinions. I live in small town next to Mexico border and there's really no place to take these on a regular basis. So very much appreciated what I can learn from everyone. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/17/2020 12:42 pm The roughness of the plating is caused zy plating over zinc dust on the planchets. No premium for these, just spenders. Report this Post to the Staff
