biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/27/2016 1:25 pm Unfortunately, your coin has been damaged by zinc rot(corrosion). Post-1982 cents are copper-plated zinc and were plagued by split plating(especially around the mintmark). When the plating is split, the zinc core begins to corrode and the copper plating can flake off. Your coin lost the copper plating of the mintmark from this corrosion process and you can also see other affected spots on the neck and the profile of the nose. Report this Post to the Staff

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 07/27/2016 6:18 pm Agree the MM fell off due to corrosion. Coop has a great time line of pictures of the corrosion process on the MM Edited by jasper62 07/27/2016 6:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
