This is what you would call linear plating bubbles where the copper did not bond well to the zinc inside. I will admit, these are nice and big, probably not worth anything but cool to hold onto as a curiosity. These are common enough on zinc Lincolns. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 02/02/2022 8:54 pm I agree with @sam that this one might be a nice enough example to save in a 2x2.
