Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 12:26 am The mint mark may have taken a hit as the metal looks flattened. The coin has several areas of zinc rot where the copper platting has been compromised and the zinc core is exposed and beginning to corrode. The green looks like the copper has reacted with something and is corroding as well. The Vest / Bowtie area does look a little weak and may have resulted from a slight area of grease on the die.

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 03:40 am The zinc will deteriorate over time if exposed to the air through any opening in the copper plating, but I do not think will not jump from one coin to the next.
