Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 10/06/2022 01:14 am Not an error. Zinc pox, or rot. Sometimes called orange peel. It's the zinc core rotting from the inside. It will get so bad that the copper plating will split and destroy the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/06/2022 03:36 am Not orange peel,that is something else. Your coin is suffering from plating issue where debris gets trapped between the copper plating and the zinc core. Sometimes it produces trapped gas and sometimes a hard bubble when it is trapped zinc dust.Not an error. It is also a very minor MAD.
