Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 10/19/2021 07:05 am @val, the damage along the obv rim is a bit unusual, but is still damage. Looks like the zinc core is now exposed in multiple areas. This one would be a spender for me.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/19/2021 11:44 am When the plating is split, then the oxygen starts working on the zinc under the plating and it is all down hill from then on. The rot is taking place. Not a keeper as the countdown has be begun for this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
