Preantique Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 6:49 pm This coin was born with Severe Acute Missing or Weak Devices Syndrome (joking!) and as if this was not enough, looks like it suffered other serious damages! I guess it got into a fire, or can it be corrosion? Edited by Preantique 04/09/2020 8:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75050 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 7:04 pm Minor Struck Through Grease error. https://www.error-ref.com/struck-th...-grease-oil/ I like how you said it has disabilities! Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Preantique Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 7:11 pm Thank you, Errers and Varietys! I know it's a struck through, but I thought that the bumps might be from dirt, under the plating. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 7:20 pm This is due to either zinc dust under the plating or small plating bubbles. Report this Post to the Staff
jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 7:23 pm It can't be 1981. Copper plating zinc core didn't start till 1982 midyear Report this Post to the Staff
Preantique Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 8:28 pm Excellent point, Jasper62!Thank you, it's always nice to have someone around who is thinking! The coin weighs 2.57 grams, so it would have been a fantastic find from '81! I completely missed this minor detail when I tried to figure out the date from those faint shadows! Thank you for drawing my attention to it! I don't know if I can correct the name of the listing but if not then I put a note in the description! OK! It's been corrected!

Preantique Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 8:46 pm Thank you, Coinfrog, I'm leaning toward gas bubbles from the heat, but maybe there had been some dust as well before that. I'm just curious, you know, too much free time on hand! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/10/2020 1:56 pm Not a one. It would be a copper cent if it were a 81. Report this Post to the Staff
Preantique Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 04/11/2020 09:48 am Thank you, coop, but sorry, this time you are only the runner-up, because Jasper62 has already pointed this out, as you can read above! Report this Post to the Staff
