surfacewave Valued Member United States 169 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 6:22 pm Looks like the date, guessing 2021,may have taken a circulation hit on the date and now zinc was exposed and starting to rot/blister. Report this Post to the Staff

josef57 Valued Member Italy 122 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 7:28 pm Thank you for your answer, it seems strange to me that number 1 is missing, I see more damage, I don't know what due to it, the zinc touches only a small part. Report this Post to the Staff
DMN Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 05/22/2023 7:42 pm Starting in 1983 copper pennies where converted to mostly zinc. What your seeing is a air bubble from what is known as zinc rot beneath the coin and damage to the coin. It has nothing to do with the 1.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/23/2023 1:09 pm When you see gray on Zinc cents, that is because the copper plating was removed on that area of the coin. So that is damage, exposing the zinc under the plating. Report this Post to the Staff
