Rubenstein Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 05/29/2025 1:31 pm Hi, just wondering about the reverse side of this coin and the blue outline of the memorial and lettering above it. Is it a variety? or just a cladding issue? Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73937 Posts	Posted 05/29/2025 1:52 pm Looks like a split plating issue. Just so you know, Lincoln Cents from 1983 to present are copper plated, not clad. Some of the 1982 Lincoln Cents were made of copper and copper plated zinc. https://www.error-ref.com/split-plating/ Errers and Varietys.

Rubenstein Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 05/29/2025 3:38 pm Thanks, seem to find a lot of them and was wondering what causes it. I'll try to be better with my terminology in the future. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 05/29/2025 10:20 pm Yep, just a platting issue caused by roller lines. (But some 1982 and 1983 and newer cent coins are not 'clad' they are electroplated.) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
