JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 04/12/2021 3:50 pm From those pictures it looks like split plating exposing the zinc core. Eventually zinc rot will set in. Correct typo Edited by JimmyD 04/12/2021 3:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19126 Posts	Posted 04/12/2021 3:50 pm Difficult to tell from the photos posted. Do these areas look silver-ish? If so, you may have a case of split plating. One or two closer-in, large and sharp photos may tell a better story. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 04/12/2021 4:32 pm yes +1 for split plating. It's a no value added occurance with newer zinc core Lincoln cents. sometimes the die breaks the copper plating in the strike. Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 04/12/2021 5:28 pm The collecting community adopted the term "SPLIT PLATING". Till all studies will be finish we will say split plating. I am not involved in this study but I talk with some involved. Seem at 80% to be s plating defiance. Seem to be attributed to the material electrical resistance. Not yet resolute. The cents planchets are delivered already plated by third party of the mint. here follow the explanation from the ANA learn Academy. So is not a mint default, error, variety or strike.
