Mrhakfbacon Pillar of the Community United States 579 Posts	Posted 07/10/2022 09:46 am Was hunting a box of pennies and noticed this coin. On the front there was a large section of grayish material(not raised) that appeared to be zinc. I see the rim there so I believe the plating could be partly missing. Same thing but smaller on the reverse around the S T or A of STATES. I see small plating bubbles on the back also, but I have heard they are "very common on zinc-olns(zinc Lincoln pennies)". Sorry for bad pics. EDIT: Sorry for 2 reverse pictures. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Mrhakfbacon 07/10/2022 09:55 am Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96935 Posts	Posted 07/10/2022 10:19 pm what does the edge in that area of the date look like? The reverse in that area does not show any missing plating, I'm curious ho much of the edge plating is missing. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

gorham_collector Valued Member United States 426 Posts	Posted 07/13/2022 07:18 am This is a defective planchet actually or defective copper plating whatever you'd like to call it. I've found two of these in OBW rolls denver mint andddd this is a denver. Seen a lot of these on Denver's. This one has been circulated for awhile tho. Great find. Here are my two examples 2018d Obv and rev are defective. And the 2019 d is also like that. Also here's a graded one from online (not my coin) it's a 2015 d graded ms66 defective copper plating. For confirmation. It's pretty obvious looking at these and seeing them that it's a defective copper plating and obvious when u have something that's more of a stain or clear damage. At least how my brain is it can easily identify errors & PMD Report this Post to the Staff
