Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 03/08/2022 08:28 am looks like the copper plating has come or was scraped off exposing the zinc core. Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/08/2022 09:24 am Not a good thing as when the zinc get oxygen, then the zinc starts to rot. Just spenders. In time they will break down faster. Report this Post to the Staff
Fdock9 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 03/08/2022 2:18 pm Do you know how hard it is for a guy who only has 7 fingers to take a picture?!? Nah, I'm just kidding. I'll try and get some better pics if you want but it will be 9pm est before I can do it. Anyhow I'm sure this is now just missing copper plating on the Planchet. So I'm not worried about anything further. Thanks everyone as usual I appreciate it immensely. Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 03/08/2022 8:04 pm On the other side I saw spots of the cleaning solution (the round white). Mean on the spot you ask was an small hole in the plating and the cleaning solution react with the zinc. This reaction it is irreversible. Just spend, nothing to do for. Report this Post to the Staff
