JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21595 Posts	Posted 06/23/2022 3:05 pm If your referring to 'UNITED STATES" on the reverse, that is Split Plate Doubling. A worthless type of doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95403 Posts	Posted 06/23/2022 3:13 pm I think they are referring to the 'silvery color that seems to be bleeding through the copper plating. We have seen that before but forget what we called it.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/23/2022 10:27 pm The 2x2 holder is worth more than the cent therein. Zinc showing is not a good thing. Next stop zinc rot. Report this Post to the Staff
