Found this awhile back after opening a roll of new 2019 pennies. Looks uncirculated but these marks on the surface caused me to set it aside. It looks like it may of came from the die itself. I highly doubt it's zinc cancer as this was brand new fresh from the mint roll. It sort of looks like someone took a paintbrush and flicked molten copper on the penny and the spatter is the result xD. I'm not familiar with these kinds of errors especially on zincolns as most supposed errors turn out to be PMD or rot. Any ideas or input on what's going on here would be appreciated!

@change, check to see if you can depress them with the tip of a wooden toothpick. If so, then they should be plating bubbles. If not, then they are more likely trapped debris/dust as noted above.

Planchet was cleaned good enough before plating over the dust

Yeah I figured it was plating bubbles. Though on new cents I didn't expect them. I really only think of early 80's cents when thinking of plating bubbles lol

For some reason I was thinking most of this junk was coming from philly and Denver. Oh well.
