Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 07:36 am @pris, sorry but no RPMs in 1992. Rather this looks like a zinc blister to me that is somewhat shaped like a letter D. These occur quite commonly near the mintmark, perhaps because the copper plating is stretched extra thin in this region of the coin.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 12:28 pm Split plating is the cause that started the alteration on your coin. It is not a RPM. If it had been a DDO, then it could have the hub doubling present on the date/mintmark area. (RPMs stopped after 1990) But it is not even that. Just a split on the plating, exposing the zinc layer that is now rotting. Just a face value coin now. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5767 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 1:40 pm Sorry to pile on but it's a zinc blister. I don't think anyone mentioned above, but the mint stopped putting the MM on by hand in 1989 (I think). No RPMs (or OMMs) after that year. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 10:55 am Split plating started on the zinc cents in 1982. As long as the split plating happens, it will always be an issue. Never a plus for the coin. Eventually they will all rot away. If anything acidic comes in contact, the process will speed up. Never a good thing for the coin victim. Report this Post to the Staff
prisbrey1 Pillar of the Community United States 936 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 11:06 am Thanks coop why do all the modern coins rot so fast I'm pretty sure it's the zink but why do they still make them like that Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 11:45 am because cents are near worthless and attention is instead given to societal problems that are bigger than zinc rot Report this Post to the Staff
