CoinChat89 Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 11/05/2024 05:51 am When looking at this one up close, I noticed there are 5 extra bumps/lumps/nuggets (not sure what to call them lol) in between the columns on the reverse. There are a total of 5 of them, but I couldn't get an up close picture with all 5 in the frame. I got 3/5, in the up close and you can see the 4th & 5th in the main picture of the reverse (in the second & third columns from the right). Thoughts? - Please done say zinc rot. I mean do say so if you think so, but I hope not haha. Edited by CoinChat89 11/05/2024 06:46 am Report this Post to the Staff

CoinChat89 Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 11/05/2024 08:39 am @oddguy - Yes, they are raised. The 3 in the up close picture are not evenly shaped (kind of elongated), while the two on the right look more rounded. @Dearborn - How would I know if these are die chips vs rot? And if they are die chips, does said error make the coin more valuable? @bobby131313 - The pictures are such a struggle sigh. I tried putting the coin/s on multiple different surfaces with various background colors, but my iPhone camera seems to focus in on them better when I'm holding them (not sure why lol). The pic I got while on flat surfaces are all grainy :/ Report this Post to the Staff
