<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 4168687, member: 17665"]I have found what you are looking for on several occasions and as compared to your NGC example, but all on B.U. coins which is what you really should be looking for to verify this. In fact I found nearly a dozen of them in just one roll. Trying to find one on a well circulated coin is nearly an impossible task. There are too many environmental factors to consider on circulated coins. All it takes is one pin hole or one crack along the periphery for the zinc to start bubbling out and spreading across the rest of the coin. Then there is 31 years of other accumulated debris on the coin obscuring anything original. The others have their minds made up because of their experience with these problem cents and you have your mind made up because of just your one NGC example and trying too hard to find a similar example. Try finding an example on a much nicer piece in AU-BU range that has no other problems.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
