Ewm916 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 12/13/2020 11:07 pm Also the bigger hole looks almost like it was melted thru there definitely not drilled. I read online about some type of gas pockets forming in the planchet during the mint process is it possible that coupd have caused them Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 12/13/2020 11:49 pm If you are referring to gas bubbles, those only occur on copper plated zinc cents, from 1982-present: http://www.error-ref.com/gas-bubbles/ There's no way those holes occurred during the minting process, but they're also probably not drilled holes, I'm guessing they've been made by melting the metal with a hot spike.
