This is very common on copper plated zinc cents, it is not an error nor a variety. It is damage created at the mint.

Sort of a contradiction there. Coins from the Mint that are not made correctly are what most call, ERRORS. Regardless of how much of an ERROR, the type of ERROR, they do sell as ERRORS. Some consider rotated reverse not an ERROR yet many sell them as ERRORS. At one coin show a dealer has a large book of error coins that he sells and some are similar to this one. AND THEY DO SELL and they are noted as ERRORS.

Sometimes people will buy an item because of the lable regardless of the rarity.

So, by your comment, this happens at the mint. Expanding, from heat? But why only in certain areas?


Imagine stomping on a cupcake and most of the icing sticks to the pattern in your boot. The cake will ooze out the sides with some icing missing.
