DylansDad Valued Member United States 476 Posts	Posted 03/27/2010 4:58 pm I'd disagree, looks to me like a split in the copper plating, exposing the zinc. Of course...I could be wrong. :) Report this Post to the Staff
Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 03/27/2010 6:34 pm Jasper and Dad are correct. The plating follows away from the die in what is called cold flow. In this case the plating was too thin and split allowing the zinc to show. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
