<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chrisworld, post: 1345190, member: 31741&quot;]Hello all. I&#039;ve come across an odd one here. I come across these from time to time and the past few I never really looked into. I have a 1917 that has the same issue, but this one I&#039;m posting about (with a pic) is a 1957 wheat penny with unusual peeling, bubbling and total loss of a &quot;layer&quot; (im assuming the zinc layer) on only the back of the coin. Can anyone tell me if this is some sort of bad chemical reaction from intentional damage, rare type of wear or wear that has been getting worse due to a flaw during the striking process?</p><p><br /></p><p>Appreciate it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Image below.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i41.tinypic.com/1z4bv3b.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i41.tinypic.com/1z4bv3b.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i41.tinypic.com/1z4bv3b.jpg</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
