<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GSDykes, post: 4017945, member: 73321&quot;]Copper plated zinc planchets are not annealed before striking.</p><p><br /></p><p>David Lange refers to the bubbly surface on some of the new</p><p><br /></p><p>CZ coins as: pimples or raised dots.

(<i>The Complete Guide to Lincoln </i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Cents, </i>David W. Lange. page 267. Bowers and Merena Galleries,</p><p><br /></p><p>2005.). Most of the ensuing coins having this &quot;problem&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>display a mild textured effect, much like the skin of an orange,</p><p><br /></p><p>hence I refer to them as &quot;orange-peel&quot; texture. No new</p><p><br /></p><p>nomenclature is required. Show me a worn die effect matching</p><p><br /></p><p>these seen of the CZ coins!! If it matches this effect, then I</p><p><br /></p><p>will seek another term to describe it. Kind sir the ball is in your</p><p><br /></p><p>court!</p><p><br /></p><p>Gary S.
