Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 12/27/2022 3:17 pm @279, that is a great close-up image that you have posted. I can clearly see the tear in the copper plating to the right of the number 2 and the grey zinc core underlying. The plumped out copper may be due to the zinc beginning its deterioration process. no mint error here though.
