Ran across this today in a Loomis roll. Is this nothing more than a misaligned die? It just looks different to me. The rim goes from being filled to having a doubled rim with a lower area in between the two "rims". I think I have seen this before but not this extreme.
I'm still waiting on those steaks. Did you overnight them?

I like this one Jon. It's invigorating one of my "curiosity" spasms for these zinc cents.
I'm still trying to find information on whether the current process for producing the 1 cent planchets is the same as the copper ones, previously.
Specifically, where the proto-rim is applied. At the production facility in Greenville, Tenn. or the mint.
And what was done to them to eliminate the split plating that used to be so prevalent. I have found no first-hand knowledge of the process.
Everything I look into goes into "Schultzie" mode and knows nothing. ("Hogans Heros" for those that need the reminder.)

Nice fingerprint.

How can you tell it's not roller lines applied during an earthquake?
I was hoping you might have contacts that might know about the modern process for zinc cents?
It seems like the mint (or the planchet producer) has mostly solved the problem with splitting of the zinc plating. I don't recall that problem jumping out at me lately.
Anyone????

Back when you could get original rolls for a decent price.

When I asked Jarden's a question about their processes, they did not reply.

Unfortunately, that was my experience as well. On multiple occasions. I think they (Jarden Zinc) have become less accessible/friendly since being acquired by Artazn. It seems like they have no need to be customer "friendly" since they face no competition.
