wz1f Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 12/06/2011 2:03 pm Not sure if this is the right term, but look at the penny. What is the cause of this scabbing and is it worth keeping. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/06/2011 2:41 pm I think it's called blistering/bubbling. It's a plating issue, something to do with the way the mint rinses the planchets before plating. Not worth keeping unless you want to. They are very common. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
