SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 02/22/2021 12:24 am Sounds like someone was either 1. Messing with you, or 2. You were being so insistent that it was an error that this person got fed up and said "well send it in, then!" Zinc rot is just post mint damage that occurs when the thin copper layer covering the zinc core is damaged and the zinc begins to react with its environment. Eventually the whole coin will disintegrate. Report this Post to the Staff
