arby96 Pillar of the Community United States 2111 Posts	Posted 08/17/2025 3:56 pm Here is a 2008D LMC that has what appears to be die cracks or a bad planchet, with bubbling between the Zinc and Copper. I think its a bad planchet? Please take a look and let me know what you think. "LOVE THE HUNT!" Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/17/2025 4:38 pm My vote is linear plating bubbles through Abe and LIBERTY plus a die crack through IGWT. Hard to know for sure though.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8742 Posts	Posted 08/17/2025 7:20 pm I would have to lean towards the plating issues too, because of the fact the areas in question are lining up exactly with the very obvious roller lines (obverse & reverse), due to some contaminates under the plating. I suppose there could be something else happening in conjunction with this but find it highly unlikely. Just my opinion. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
