Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 10/31/2017 1:48 pm I'm going to go with zinc rot. After 82' cents were made with zinc. Some cases of pennies show zinc rot. I believe this is what is going on with your coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 10/31/2017 3:35 pm @tmills, if it is zinc rot, then you should be able to collapse that bubble. In any case, it sure looks like damage to me. I agree getting a pic of the obv would be helpful.
