Coin Idiot Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 11/13/2022 7:41 pm Found another odd one. The mint mark by itself looks normal. So where did the rest of it come from? Tempted to clean out the debris but I know I can't. Any suggestions? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/14/2022 12:42 pm Split plating and the gray/white area is zinc rot that is forming. This coin will eventually all go away with time. So it is still a spender for now. Report this Post to the Staff
