leonardmottjr New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 12/14/2016 12:17 am Hello, My name is Leonard Mott and have been going through some change and found this LMC amongst the many coins I have been searching through. Apparently the zinc pennies in 1982 had a corrosion problem and this penny has bubbling apparent under magnification. Overall there is little wear but one spot around the rim is splitting about 1/4 way around circumference facing Abe Lincoln's face. I have been trying to get better photographs of this coin to show here and I have this one for now. Can anyone give me information on this coin? I see the other 3 specimens have all been reported here first correct? Any help will be greatly appreciated, sincerely Leonard Mott Jr. Edited by leonardmottjr 12/14/2016 04:26 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/14/2016 07:33 am I feel the the roughness of the plating was probably caused by zinc dust that plating onto the planchet. A poor rinse of the zinc plachets before the plating was the issue. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 12/14/2016 12:58 pm Another issue to point out, that is a large date cent not a small date. EDIT: I just noticed that John already stated that fact. Edited by cwb 12/14/2016 1:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
