Shellioness1 Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 01/22/2019 4:40 pm This is one of a few coins I have had for over a year now. Just now looking at them and wondering why I saved them. Well now I know why! This 1990D LMC has my mind boggled. I look and it's very strange as to what happened but the pictures will describe themselves. Let me know your thoughts please. Any feedback will be appreciated. I will post some others too in separate topics. Report this Post to the Staff

Shellioness1 Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 01/22/2019 4:48 pm Yeah it's one of the first coins I found when I started in 11/2017. Didn't know what to do with it. I see the rot happening but I can't figure out all the blobs ok no both sides. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75082 Posts	Posted 01/28/2019 3:49 pm That's Zinc Rot setting in on your coin. That's why there's bubbles on your coin. It's all Post Strike Damage ( PSD). It didn't happen at the U.S. Mint. It's worth face value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 01/28/2019 4:53 pm Agreed Zinc rot. What is unfortunate is that unless sealed and kept away from humidity, that will be the ultimate fate of all Copper plated Zinc coins. By the year 2082, I doubt you will find many 1982 LMC in circulation. Most if not all of them will be in private collections. JMHO. Dan Report this Post to the Staff
