mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 03/18/2024 06:58 am No, not an error, , zinc rot setting in where the copper is wearing off exposing the zinc core, therefore only worth a cent... The no mint marks are automatically the Philadelphia mint on these cents. Report this Post to the Staff

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 03/18/2024 09:05 am Zinc bubbles can occur anywhere and create odd shapes, a lot are found around mint marks, this one is just around a number. It will get larger and burst exposing the zinc. Report this Post to the Staff
