[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 17427655, member: 90692"]Very true, but that’s not all. Once you get past the fact they are zinc you run into a cornucopia of problems: Besides spotting and stains there’s corrosion, die deterioration, plating issues, weak strikes and manufacturing defects. Poor design, poorly made. The only ones I keep have a strong strike, AU58 or better with none of the aforementioned defects, and the only places you will find these are in time capsule coffee cans and Mason jars holed up in your recently deceased Aunt Sally’s basement (or Uncle Walter, if you prefer). It’s no wonder few people even bother with Zincolns…imo…Spark[/QUOTE]
