[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 4404493, member: 84179"]Even though the pics are poor (my pics are bad too :facepalm:) it looks like the material is raised above the surface of the coin.

It's highly unlikely that the zinc and/or tin would remain segregated in the melt especially with no other evidence of improper alloying.
