Hi I'm new here, and cant find what this is. There are large globs of metal on the reverse of my 1982 Lincoln Cent in the word AMERICA, on the M, under the R, and trailing off the last A . Definitely not scratches. Its a large date. Any info is appreciated. Thank you! Edited by Mayakaz

That poor coin is suffering from zinc rot. All those little bumps are gas bubbles. Spend it. You did very well with your photo. I remember the first time I tried (and tried) to post a pic. I took the pic. I saved the pic. Where did it go.....?  Took me a day to find it. |

When they fall in a line, they call them linear plating bubbles. But I would like to see a closer shot of the 'M' on AMERICA. |

 this is unrelated but until I can really learn how to navigate this site and what to put it under I just want to show this red beautiful 59 d. I just found it.in person It looks in better shape than many of the 2016! I thought it was very neat and wanted to share. Also I know there is something with rpm and the d looks off to me. |

You might try pushing downwards with a tooth pick. If it is a gas bubble it should flattened. But it looks like part of the same issue with the other linear plating bubble. The test should prove it is or isn't a gas bubble.

It is always nice to have them saved. Others read this also. All benefit from this information, either for teaching or learning. So the threads can be a teaching aid.  Edited by coop
