Thank you JP Mashoke......  RWB could have chosen many and far better words.  I've been around long enough to understand there are those who fail to understand common decency and have be brought up in a way that they feel comfortable to naturally mess on other people.  No sweat. It's all good.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for your feedback

Jeeeeze.....  Thanks for the cold shower on both me and my family. 

Great!  Thanks for the feedback! 

Don't think its ever been cleaned.  She's been in the family for at least 100 years.   

As is my 1878 P.  She's just plain sweet, and never graded. 

Love my Morgan's.  Got a few VAM's that are beautiful.  What do you think?

Thanks.

OP - So do you have a photo of the coin in question? 

Why would you of all people, who say 50% of employees steal and never underestimate humans, ask this board to trust your allegation of theft at face value?  If I were you and before I went to the authorities with this, I'd check all of your Morgan's again.  You'll probably find your coin hidden in a book because you didn't trust your nurse.        

Great information Oldhoopster.  Thank you.

What is/are the cause(s) of plating issues?

Agree, whether intentional or not, some of the higher points on the coin lack Cu.  It was the areas that are not prominent and below level without Cu that caught my attention.  Thanks for your feedback.  

Hi All -

New to the site and appreciate all the expertise associated with NGC.  I recently found what I originally thought was a 1998 Lincoln cent that was sanded down but now after seeing a couple of examples of NGC graded coins with plating errors I'm not so sure.  Reason for my uncertainty is along the rim it appears lower unexposed areas of the coin appear that the copper plating did not adhere.  There are clearly more prominent areas (cheek, temple, chin, nose and lapel) where zinc is exposed.  There are no indications of scratching I would associate with the use of sand paper in these areas.  There also doesn't appear to be dissolving liquid solution used where the lower areas would also be affected. 

If this is a plating error what factors are at play?

Feedback would be appreciated.  Thank you for your opinions in advance.
