    Error Plating | Plating issue?

    I'm just going to guess that's what this is.

    It's kind of cool looking though.

    The orange rind bumps leave me to the conclussion that this is not a plating issue. To me it appears as PMD.
    Richard S. Cooper Some have asked about my images I use, and I'm glad to say I've completed a DVD of these. Ask if you are interested. Newer members like these.

        Orange peel look of the coins surface? There are a great number of them in the post 82 coins, some look like wrinkles. Problem is, they tend to self-destruct once the surface of the copper shell is compromised, and the white zinc gets out, and then the green verdigris can take over. I wonder if the two sides have been worn off with use.

          I have seen this before and presumed it have been altered, maybe heat or chemically. I doubt it was purposeful. And it is the bumps Coop points out that concern me too.
