Bored one2014 Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 10:28 pm I can't get a real good enlarged picture. I'm gonna have to have it looked at. Just off enough to have it checked out. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 12:59 am When you say "have it looked at," I hope you don't mean grading. Bad photos aside, I can say with 99.999% confidence that this is just zinc rot, and 100% confidence that it is not a variety that any grading service will attribute. Report this Post to the Staff
Bored one2014 Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 01:37 am No. I wasn't gonna do all that by any stretch. Just wanted to see it enlarged more than I'm able to do here at home. I appreciate your determination of it. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 2:26 pm But note, the affected area is not raised like a mintmark would be. If it just some plated over, flatten field areas you are looking at. If this were the case, there would be a million of these as it would happen on each strike with that die. But if there is only one, then it is a coin event and not a die event. Note a RPM on this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
