Dearborn Moderator United States 97546 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 5:08 pm yep the plating was not thick enough when it was struck and split open. Collecting since 1972.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 10:50 pm Split plate doubling. Next stage is more exposed zinc which leads to zinc rot blisters which destroys/eats the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
