Dearborn Moderator United States 95089 Posts	Posted 05/06/2023 4:06 pm Yes on a MAD strike, but no on a lamination. 1982 + cents are plated over a zinc core. What you have here is a burst open zinc bubble and some split plating. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

We generally advise that there is extra numismatic value when the tops of the letters start to fall off the edge.
