Newguy87 Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 06/29/2018 3:39 pm I noticed this today and I'm not sure what this is? It's some sort or crack or something. Starts behind Lincoln and goes at least half way around the coin. I have learned anytime I have a question I can't figure out you awesome folks in here help me. Thanks for looking and any info helps me. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74019 Posts	Posted 06/29/2018 3:54 pm That's Cracked Cooper Plating. causing the Zinc to get exposed. It probably broke during the strike from thin Cooper plating. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/29/2018 6:43 pm Starting in 1982, cents were composed of zinc with an outer copper coating, or plating, a really bad idea. Edited by Coinfrog 06/29/2018 6:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 06/29/2018 8:34 pm Yes split plating on the OP's coin, but it wouldn't surprise me if @coop had his own error named after him at some point.
