BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19957 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 08:50 am It's a copper coated zinc coin, those are gas bubbles formed during the plating process, not "zinc rot". Zinc rot is when one (or more) of the bubble breaks and allows the zinc inside to corrode. This 1987 is very common in circulated condition, it's really only worth 1 cent in this condition.
