When the zinc is exposed, the zinc can start rotting. This happens in stages:

You will often notice the gray color on these areas:

This will allow oxygen to get to the zinc and swell on the coin, or eventually allow a hole in the plating. Not a good thing. Spend these before the end process happens. If they are exposed to acid, this accelerates the process. Just a spender coin. If one a variety coin, then it becomes a problem coin.

Avoid these, and look for an example with out the split plating.

Zinc rot can create all sorts of coincident shapes, like animal figures in the clouds.

@Reds brother.... If you believe you have something special, feel free to take it into your local coin shop/dealer & get their opinion.
