elliottite Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 04/26/2022 02:10 am Helloooo again... I happened upon this 1982 penny that looks like a possible clipped plantchet. But I would like to hear what others say. Thank you. Edited by elliottite 04/26/2022 05:07 am Report this Post to the Staff

My guess is PMD due to the exposed core but lack of displaced metal and how uniform it is makes me second guess. Others will hopefully chime in, a shot of the rim of the area in question might show something I'm not seeing but I'm going with PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 04/26/2022 04:20 am Could it just be a pocket of exposed zinc that has oxidized away leaving the now circular void? Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96457 Posts	Posted 04/26/2022 12:11 pm not a clip or chip. A burst plating bubble seems to be the consensus here Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/26/2022 12:15 pm Note on the last two images. Note the edge took a hit and it exploded the rim area. Cause and affect on the coin. With the zinc exposed, they rot begins, which the images show that well. Great presentation. Edited by coop 04/26/2022 12:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
