Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 06/28/2022 12:50 pm this is known as zinc rot. The date (etc.) took a hit and also exposed some zinc which is rotting away.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97227 Posts	Posted 06/28/2022 1:06 pm That almost looks intentional - bit of acid to erase the face - I'm not seeing the 'classic' zinc rot here. The metal is too clean and the edges are well defined. Damaged face, and date 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 06/28/2022 2:10 pm Zinc rot setting in. How/why did the zinc core become exposed? Who knows. I agree, looks like perhaps a chemical reaction/spill. Spend it while you can, there is no stopping zinc rot. Report this Post to the Staff
