'Discoloration', as depicted in the images posted, appears to be due to typical circulation and exposure to environmental agents--not uncommon. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95204 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 1:15 pm Above the letters where you see the zinc, is called split plating, in this case a bit extreme as well. Collecting since 1972.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8738 Posts	Posted 05/12/2023 3:02 pm I searched for a long time before taking time to know what I was looking for and at. I found that going through this list helped me a lot, even if I had not seen some of the things that are in the list, it helped me when I did run across it. From time to time, just go through the list and study, check out the pictures, it will amaze you at how quickly you pick up on things and remember them when you actually see them.
