coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/23/2011 07:19 am It looks like to me an example of a orange rind coin that has the copper plating removed. You can see the bumps that are under the plating still showing through. Later they perfected the rinsing technique and the bumps were not present as frequent as they were during th 80's on the Zincolns. Report this Post to the Staff
