I don't think he was trying to confuse but assume what the OP was thinking. Yes he should of explained his statement better but I knew what he meant (Be careful how you speak to a CoinTalk moderator Tyler )
Be careful? No offense mom, but It was a joke! Hence the lol at the end of my sentence. Haha If he can’t take a joke then maybe I shouldn’t be here haha this was the second time in a row I saw D over S... his comments had me searching around making me think I missed something with my learning. Thanks for the warning though haha but I got myself handled @paddyman98 Sigh. So much defending myself here for the way I speak, and no actual reason for any of it haha
Sometimes it is perspective. Until I see expression of expertise, I assume new members are less experienced. When he mentioned " under the D" in the first post I saw the squiggles that he was talking about, and suspected what most without the experience think ~ this is rare. It would have been if it existed mint made. But in a time where most still do not research much before asking, I assume the lower levels. True , I did not try to explain why it no longer happens, about single squeeze and CNC die making, etc as compared to older die production methods and shipping of dies from area of country to another as needed. If the member had asked why after my post , I would have added, but I thought he just wanted to know if important ( valuable)or not. No offense taken. Jim
Glad you didn’t take offense. Thank you for clarifying this. I knew you could handle it and see my character.
What you see is the beginning of this - http://www.error-ref.com/zinc-deterioration-on-lincoln-cents/ It's ok buddy!
The black is a bloom I understand that but what I have circled was curious I have several pictures I hope I don't post to much
Break in the plating allowed zinc rot (zinc oxide) to begin pushing up the plating. Then the rot either crumbled away or something dissolved the zinc oxide and the raised copper plating has collapsed leaving the "wrinkles" behind.
