What you may be seeing are plating blisters/bubbles, very common on plated zinc Lincoln cents from the 1980s. Remember, the transition from mostly copper to copper-plated zinc occurred in 1982.

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 12/21/2023 10:30 am I agree with plating bubbles. Need better pictures to confirm but in third bay on building could be a small clash. I can't see that area very well. Report this Post to the Staff
