KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 04/02/2008 5:59 pm Andre, I think the zinc core of this penny is corroding underneath the copper plating, pushing up these bubbles. It can't be cleaned, as the problem is internal. Pretty sad...the US should do the steel/nickel/copper cent that Canada is using. Report this Post to the Staff
andre1621 Pillar of the Community Canada 868 Posts	Posted 04/02/2008 6:04 pm That's what I tought Kurt,i guess this coin was once on the salty road in Montreal I can see some white stuff in the holes could be salt residue. Andre Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 04/02/2008 6:24 pm The white stuff is probably zinc oxide which is a common byproduct of zinc corrosion. It's sad to consider the condition most zinc pennies will be in 50 years. Edited by KurtS 04/02/2008 6:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
