Titles are Important! * I recently started saving one cents pieces again, so I am relatively new to the zinc pennies. But I have a 83 D and looks to have a major problem with Cud. Any help would be greatly appreciated. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Thank you all for your comments. I agree with the bubble or orange peel. The glob on the reverse by the E is however metal not playing. Do you have any thoughts for that? Edited by T-Dawg 01/31/2018 01:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

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
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/30/2018 1:19 pm The heat theory for the bubbles is not correct. John Wexler was on a tour of the Philly mint and they always thought that heat was involved with the striking process. But he saw one struck and it was not even warm. (which surprised him) This changed his mind on that theory. The rough texture on the coins at first was called orange rind, but it is plating over dust particles from the zinc planchets. Thus a rinsing process prevented this from happening.later on. The bubble are able to be flattened with a toothpick. So they are not a die issue, but a planchet issue. They are not a Cud as mentioned. A Cud involves part of the die breaking off the rim of the coin. So there is no premium attached to your coin. Also the coin is a 1982-D cent.

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 01/30/2018 2:07 pm The occluded gas bubbles can only happen on a solid alloy cent, not the plated cents that are being made today. The plating issues we see on modern coins, like the one posted, is completely different. Report this Post to the Staff
