No premium on something like this, just a great example to show what blisters look like. 1982 Lincoln Memorial cent large date zinc - plating blisters Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21593 Posts	Posted 04/16/2023 09:17 am Looks like the zinc planchet wasn't washed before it was struck. Another of the early problems they had with the introduction of the zincoin. Report this Post to the Staff

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 04/16/2023 1:02 pm I think that would go for a decent premium on the bay. Maybe $10 or more. Just because of the cool factor. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 04/16/2023 1:13 pm Very cool! I agree with Willburton that this could sell for $10 at auction.
