Dearborn Moderator United States 97685 Posts	Posted 05/14/2022 1:39 pm Wide AM is normal for this year coin. Also 1982 and later cents are not clad but instead plated. Plated with a very thin layer of copper that can wear off from circulation - or just have gotten a bad plating prior to striking. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/14/2022 3:12 pm Below ONE CENT near the rim looks like DDD. (From an aging die, that just affects the fields at this point) If the devices are reduced in size then it could be Machine Doubling. You can see it better than us from the images provided.

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7076 Posts	Posted 05/14/2022 6:06 pm Since most of the plating is missing from the "protected" areas on this cent makes me lean closer to poor plating rather than wear....Keeper in my eyes. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 05/14/2022 8:09 pm Is not missing plating. Under the Mausoleum we can see the best significative part of the coin. This it is an acid interaction, it is very clear. Report this Post to the Staff
