-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8744 Posts	Posted 03/16/2022 5:17 pm Can't really tell what's going on with the beard with the pics but there looks to be a lot of plating disturbances with this coin, which may be the cause of what you are seeing. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/16/2022 5:53 pm This coin could be showing a lot of plated on zinc dust on this one planchet, while other coins from the same dies, will not show the same thing. No premium for the plated over zinc dust. It would be a planchet issue, not a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19147 Posts	Posted 03/16/2022 6:10 pm Agree, platting issues with earlier zinc core cents (80s-90s) can cause some very interesting texturing. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8744 Posts	Posted 03/16/2022 9:46 pm I agree, Spence. Your pics are very good, Tracy_04 but what you gave us on the full coin shots where hard for me to tell anything out of the norm, short of the plating issues, which I think have accentuated what you may be seeing but good eye. As Spence has said, good pics, much better than we usually get to try to help folks figure out what they have. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
