[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 4157787, member: 74863"]I received this in change about a week ago. It's been soaking in acetone which took a lot of the gunk off. The coin is Zinc, 2001-D, and you can see white metal in a few places on the reverse as the reverse is terrible compared to the obverse. There are numerous places that you can see zinc rot at work. One of them poor old Abe can see as it's right in front of him. There's Zinc rot on the date and mintmark as well. What I don't understand is that large gouge at 3:00. It's large and deep. No signs of displaced metal as in PMD. On a Zinc Cent that should be white from the metal under the copper coating. It's completely covered in copper. No sign of damage. I'm thinking a planchet flaw. Can anyone confirm or deny? Please state your reasoning. Thank you. [ATTACH=full]1073012[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1073013[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1073014[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
