Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 02:29 am Unfortunately not an error. This is called zinc rot and most post 1982 cents will end up the same way. Zinc plating bubbles form and then burst causing the core to be exposed and corrode over time. Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 02:38 am With zinc rot it can start under the thin layer of copper plating causing a glass bubble. If you take a plastic toothpick and push on the area it will most likely feel like a bubble and possibly "pop" Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 12:08 pm Contact marks and split plating that after the zinc is exposed, make the zinc start to rot and rise. Spend it while you can. Eventually it will all rot away and leave a copper colored Hershey's kiss wrapper. Report this Post to the Staff
