Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 03/25/2017 9:23 pm These don't look like die breaks or Cuds to me. A die crack is typically jagged, these lines are too straight. Depending on the coin's year, I want to go with plating issue or die gouge. (I'm leaning strongly towards plating issue -- this looks like a zincoln to me.) A Cud is a die crack that runs rim to rim. If the affected area falls off and the coin is minted with a blob of metal where the design was, it is a Cud. If it's a rim to rim die crack but the affected area hasn't fallen off yet, it is a Retained Cud. Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 03/25/2017 9:29 pm Yep, it's a plating problem. Can't remember the exact name as I think it falls in the classification of some kind of a plating blister. Just looked it up - those are called "linear plating blisters" http://www.error-ref.com/blisteredplating/ Edited by Mark1959 03/25/2017 9:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 03/25/2017 10:43 pm Quote: Would it also be known as Occluded gas I thought occluded gas was only involved in solid alloy coins and not associated with plating blisters on copper plated zinc cents. I may be wrong. Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 03:21 am Quote: Blistered Plating This was caused by problems with the plating process and is most common on cents minted in the 1980's, but can be found on any cent minted after 1982 when Copper plating was first used. Gas bubbles would become trapped beneath the Copper plating and cause these raised areas. They seem to be more common on cents from the Denver mint. Solid-alloy cents minted in 1982 and earlier can have occluded gas bubbles caused from heat generated when a planchet is struck. The expanding gas pushes a layer of metal towards the surface of the coin, resulting in a raised area or bubble. Occluded gas bubbles are much rarer than the blistered plating found on newer cents. http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/m...laneous.html Report this Post to the Staff
