nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15489 Posts	Posted 05/10/2023 04:53 am Yes they are. Zincolns with this condition are not considered to be errors and are accepted as normal mint products. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4594 Posts	Posted 05/10/2023 08:51 am In 1982 and 1983 plating issues were pretty common. Basically ubiquitous. In 1984 the mint had the vendor add a tiny bit of copper to the zinc core so the plating adhered better (I've read this, but never been able to find a REPUTABLE citation). Thus plating issues are (a little) less common for 1984ff. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
