NoPoMoCo Valued Member United States 403 Posts	Posted 05/16/2016 07:39 am Could be showing effects of a blow torch. Is the date post-1982? If so, zinc from the core could have bubbled up to the surface, creating those blobs. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/16/2016 09:41 am To me it looks like someone added a zinc coating to a plated cent with the orange rind appearance on surface. Kind of like putting you underwear on over you pants. LOL It is a sure sign the coin has been altered. Report this Post to the Staff
