Joshcheapcoin New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 05/01/2025 10:56 am I grabbed a mixed arm full of rolls today and found this new penny roll and seen this penny on the end of roll. It looks to have a lot of dots on the reverse. Kind of like over spray when painting. But looks to be done at the mint. Anyone know what kind of error this is? * Edited by Staff to crop and/or rotate and/or resize images.

Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 05/01/2025 11:43 am Plating bubbles are not considered mint errors, since they appear on coins long after they actually leave the mint, as the zinc core gradually corrodes due to tiny holes in the plating allowing air and moisture to attack the zinc. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
