Thank you...I wasn't sure bc both sides of B had slight "anomalies". Thank you for taking time to answer my question
When you can't come up with a good answer, think of something dumb to at least give someone a laugh. Someone pulled its wings off! Chris
We're seeing anomalies in the Zlincoln series which might mean something entirely different in coins manufactured from alloyed rather than layered metals, and the clad construction gives rise to whole new possibilities for something screwing up. In this particular case, we could be looking at a worn die artifact, perhaps machine doubling or maybe a species of layer separation/bubbling caused by the strike. Actual hub/die doubling - the stuff we "want" to see - would be a very unlikely probability low on the list because of the prevalence of those other causes.
Now that's an explanation! Thank you so much! Sorry to be a pain in the butt, I enjoy the "why" and "how" of issues.
Zlincolns fascinate me. They could not have created a more "planned obsolescence" coin if they'd tried. It's a zinc core with a copper clad, and zinc is a metal so reactive it's used as "sacrificial" to protect more important metals. A pinprick which exposes the zinc is death to a Zlincoln. Amazing.
