Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 07/25/2022 11:47 pm IT happens when a tiny pinhole forms in the plating, from circulation or other damage. When the coin is exposed to the environment, air and water get into the hole, and form a little "bubble" of corrosion that pushes the plating up. Absolutely 100% not a mint error of any kind, and not worth more than 1 cent. Frankly, I'd spend it quick, before it corrodes away any further and ceases to be a recognizable coin. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19164 Posts	Posted 07/26/2022 07:33 am Yes, post-strike damage of the zinc rot type. The coin didn't leave the striking camber in that condition. Report this Post to the Staff
