coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/10/2021 10:52 am Note the last image. You can see where the copper plating has rubbed off and the zinc is showing through. The mint gets their zinc planchets from an outside source. It will be a 2.5 gram weight. Also zinc rot on the neck/shoulder area. Just a spender. Report this Post to the Staff
