mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2957 Posts	Posted 05/13/2024 8:26 pm A classic case of Die Deterioration and zinc rot setting in, where the thin layer of copper wears off, exposing the more reactive zinc core, so just a spender to my eyes This is a very common issue with post-1982 cents as they are exposed to the general public Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19213 Posts	Posted 05/13/2024 8:51 pm Die Deterioration is in-play, but I'm thinking some Machine Doubling has occurred as well--check out Abe's scalp. Split plating with the mint mark, I believe. Edited by ijn1944 05/13/2024 8:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 05/13/2024 9:05 pm To me this looks like plating issues all the way around and on both sides of the coin. Whatever it is though, this is not the kind of doubling which add numismatic value.
