Matt783 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 10/19/2019 06:55 am There is a lot of bubbling on the back of the coin and I can't find anything like it on the internet to compare it to Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34453 Posts	Posted 10/19/2019 07:23 am @matt, first welcome to CCF. Second, @ijn is correct--the copper plating is missing in many places, letting the underlying zinc core show through. This coin is a spender.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/19/2019 08:03 am This coin does indeed have a problem. It should have been made out of injection molded plastic, not copper plated zinc. It would have cost the U.S. taxpayer less to manufacture. Now, it's a complete loss. Get away with spending it, if you can. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/19/2019 1:22 pm Probably the plating was removed on those areas. Damaged coin, spend it very soon. Will only get worse with time. Report this Post to the Staff
Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 10/19/2019 4:59 pm This is precisely what every Lincoln Cent made after 1982 unless protected, is going to look like in 2050. What a mistake to make Zincoln cents is for the coin collecting community. Dan Report this Post to the Staff
