mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 06/13/2011 1:02 pm I can't tell if it's incomplete plating, pre-strike damage (that removed the plating), or a stuck-in piece of zinc or similar-colored metal. If there's a narrow fissure flanking the silvery piece of metal, then it's the last. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

scurry64 Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 06/13/2011 2:22 pm I think he meant that if there is a narrow (and perhaps shallow) groove on either side of the exposed zinc, then it is a stuck-in piece of zinc, or similar colored metal. That's just my interpretation of Mr. Diamond's analysis. That's a very cool looking coin. I haven't seen one like it before. Edited by scurry64 06/13/2011 2:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/13/2011 3:19 pm Maybe a piece of plating was on the planchet before it was plated? After plating the piece of foil that was obscuring the plating in that area fell off. I found in a 1986 mint set one had a piece of foil plaing on the coin. But I wouldn't see no plating below the foil. But I left it in the sealed cent set. Report this Post to the Staff
