JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 01/26/2018 01:31 am I recently discovered this LMC in a roll I was searching and it has to be the most beautiful, yet extraordinarily ugly example of a penny I have ever found! Looks like Abe came down with a severe case of the measles, lol. Can anyone tell me if this is a plating issue, an alloy mix issue or something else? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74355 Posts	Posted 01/26/2018 01:42 am This is an plating issue. It is caused when contaminants get into the plating solution. It reminds me of the Chicken Pox. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/26/2018 01:54 am Zinc is a highly reactive metal, to organic substances, water air, dust. The zinc blank was most likely still moist when entering the plating process, under those bubbles are released gasses and expanded corrosive dust. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/26/2018 05:06 am I would put that in a 2x2 and keep it. I have a few like that that I kept, because they were a higher grade and looked cool. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 01/26/2018 11:45 am Yeah, I figured that is what it was. I've just never seen plating issues so extensive before. Just wondering.....what would PCGS do if I submitted this coin for encapsulation? Probably send it back in a body bag with a LOL sticker on it, huh? It's truly a beautiful coin if it weren't for those slightly distracting bubbles! The proverbial "You can't see the forrest for the trees..." comes to mind, lol. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/26/2018 9:03 pm More of a zinc dust issue that din't get off before the plating was added to the planchet. Happened a lot on the new 80's zincolns. Report this Post to the Staff
