Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 9:56 pm Thought I'd post these neat examples of blistered plating on some Zinc's I recently found for reference. I love the dagger looking example on the '84, the other '84 looks like a bad case of acne or leprosy, and the '93 isn't as cool but it is on both the obverse and reverse. Thanks!

The other coins have been fried, but don't to find them included with French fries. Maccas would be sued! With the third coin looks like there could be a storm brewing over Washington.

Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 01/28/2021 10:20 pm Yes, the first example is really cool, in decent shape, and is by far the neatest one I've ever come across for a poor plating issue. I like the "baton" comment, never thought about that. The others two no doubt definitely look fried but still good BP examples. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 10:20 pm Thank you jbuck. Hopefully l'll come across something of more interest and valuable in the near future to post. Just thought I would throw these out there for others to enjoy and for newcomers to see what blistered plating looks like. Thanks for the comment. Report this Post to the Staff

I must confess that if I were searching some rolls and came across them, I wouldn't give them a 2nd glance, but up close they are very interesting. Thanks for posting! Report this Post to the Staff
