    I forgot I hadn’t posted this error from 1960. A Philadelphia issue that’s missing an area of the coin.

    Looks like a fissure or ragged edge.

    Looks like zinc rot. I agree with the experts above.

    I know what you mean. I have detected many modern cents missing areas due to corrosion..
    Of course there were no copper plated zinc planchets in 1960 :wacky:

    Zinc Rot? On a copper coin? The date 1960, that’s 22 years before zinc was used in cents. o_O
