Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 7:02 pm I believe what you are seeing is what is called split plate doubling. Common on zinc plated cents and they carry no premium. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/05/2020 7:07 pm This is a zinc cent. The bubbles on the surface of the fields is from plating over zinc dust on the planchets. It the plating gets split during the stike, the zinc under the plating will cause that area to rise when oxygen, get to the zinc. This is not doubling, just the zinc rot starting on that area. It is a spender as the coins time is counting down. So spend. No premium for a problem coin. Report this Post to the Staff
