1coiny1 New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 07/16/2023 11:09 pm Hello all, I found this shiny coin today in my pocket change. I'm interested in any help regarding the following: Obverse-two raised bumps between WE and TRUST. Obverse-raised bump between GOD and WE. Obverse-raised bump under E in LIBERTY. Obverse-is that doubling in LIBERTY? Reverse-is that doubling in A, M, R in AMERICA? I don't have a proper scale to determine if the coin is mostly zinc, or copper by weight; is there another way to determine that? I took your advice on taking photographs of the coins, so I hope that my pictures pass the muster. As always, thank you kindly for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74060 Posts	Posted 07/16/2023 11:18 pm I see plating bubbles and no doubling. It would be a copper plated zinc Cent. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 07/16/2023 11:48 pm @1coi, if you can depress the bumps with the tip of a wooden toothpick then they are plating bubbles. If not, then they might be trapped zinc dust.
