jmont473 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/09/2012 3:16 pm I was just curious about this type of anomaly on a penny. There is an obvious glob of copper before the word trust and to the bottom left of Lincoln is this something that happened at the mint? I call it my Dot Trust penny. Report this Post to the Staff

The zinc beneath the copper begins to rot and causes the copper plating to bubble. You dest it by pushing on it with a wooden toothpick. In my opinion it looks like a small die chip.

Very common on what I call zincolns because they are zinc cores plated in copper. There seems to be some by the mint mark as well. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
