Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/20/2021 03:50 am Again, welcome to the CCF! This looks like Split Plating. It's common to find this on the zinc plated coins and does not carry a premium value. The copper plating on the outside of the coin was stretched until it split revealing the zinc core underneath. Collectors consider this to be damage. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 09/20/2021 07:02 am @noor, I agree with @yoko on this--the shiny silver color is the underlying zinc visible in these areas where the copper plating was stretched so thinly that it is now missing. You have taken and posted very good pics by the way.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 09/20/2021 2:29 pm I agree as well. Split plating is fairly common and carries no premium I'm afraid. Report this Post to the Staff
