Dearborn Moderator United States 95936 Posts	Posted 12/05/2022 9:34 pm This is a zinc dust or plating blisters issue. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/06/2022 03:32 am I totally agree with Spence and Dearborn, your " struck through dirt" is actually zinc dust. I have personally opened brand new rolls upon rolls where every single coin looked exactly like your cent. There appears to be little or no quality control at the U.S. mints these days. Chemical water spots are another huge issue in production. Spend them and don't look back! Report this Post to the Staff
