@L69, first welcome to CCF. Second, I have requested the mods move this thread to the correct part of CCF so that we can get more eyes on it. Those bumps could be little bits of debris between the zinc core and the copper plating or, if you can depress them with a wooden toothpick, are more likely plating blisters.

If there not blisters, do you happen to know if it might be worth anything? Been collecting coins for a while now, but just recently started looking for errors as well.

Well, I'd say that regardless of whether the bumps are due to entrapped debris or blisters, your cent is worth face value. With that said, other folks should be around today who will weigh in on your coin as well.

Pics are blurry, but looks like possible Die Deterioration Doubling. Just a typical cent for the era.



to the CCF!

Those little dots could be the beginning of zinc rot setting in.

Yup.
I-Was-Lookin-Threw-Some-Pocket-Change-Here-The-Other-Day,-And-Found-This.
Here are a few that had that the same issue. Until they figured out it was zinc dust under the plating. The last one image are do not apply to this thread. (Just anther example of stuff found on Zincolns)

Another outstanding product of the US Mint, which continues to churn out this junk after 35+ years.
