The plating has bubbles in it. These were copper plated zinc coins, starting in 1982.

Pretty common in the early 80's from what I see.

Some of the rinsing technique was not real good for the early Zincolns. It just depends on the planchets rinse and plating.  |

yotie; there's plenty of them out there and in much better condition. And you'll even be able to score on an all copper cent, the last of it's kind.

They seem to have made far less zinc 82's than copper. I find more coppers by a large margin, probably 90% copper.
