MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 06/11/2025 03:22 am Looks like a plating issue on a zinc cent. Does this coin weigh 3.1 grams or 2.5 grams? For now I am going to say it is plating bubbles. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 06/11/2025 07:02 am @ele, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree with @mrt that those bumps most likely are plating bubbles. Can you depress them with the tip of a wooden toothpick?

Plating bubbles are very common on zincoins, especially the earlier years when the mint was still experimenting. The weight shouldn't be necessary, it is quite obvious it is a copper plated zinc coin and should weigh about 2.5g Report this Post to the Staff

Sure looks like severe plating issues on this coin. a nice full coin image of both side is preferred as well as close up images. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
