Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/04/2017 4:45 pm Just a bit of zinc rot, I think. This was the year they switched from brass alloy to (as here) copper-plated zinc. Edited by Coinfrog 09/04/2017 4:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/04/2017 6:29 pm Bubbles are often zinc dust that was plated to the unrinsed planchets. We used to call them orange rind appearance, but orange rind is incuse and not raised. So they figured the planchets needed a better rinse to solve this issue. But it took a few years for this to be discovered. Thus the issue with the 1980's zincolns that look like they are covered with zits. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74584 Posts	Posted 09/04/2017 6:55 pm Gas Bubbles was a huge issue for the U.S. Mint starting 1982 to the late 1980's. Also the reason why you would see alot of Gas Bubbles. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 09/04/2017 6:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
