Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 02/15/2024 1:13 pm Before I get chided, I know this coin is face value only, especially since I poked around on it and generally abused it, I saw these very small areas that looked relief. Can strike-throughs be that tiny? What caused these tiny reliefs on the obverse of this coin? I used someone's idea of aluminum foil rubbing to check, and it worked. Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 02/15/2024 1:18 pm Chided? I don't think so. You consistently get accurate and helpful advice on this forum. example: Your coin shown above looks to have plating bubbles. Report this Post to the Staff
Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 02/15/2024 1:21 pm Thanks, Tacc. Could it also be just an area of zinc rot? After giving it some thought, I guess that could also present as a relief area as well, yes? Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 02/15/2024 1:30 pm Yes pretty much they are tied together. The bubbles are indeed caused by zinc rot. Report this Post to the Staff
