Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73607 Posts	Posted 12/22/2025 11:54 pm Interesting. Are you able to get a clearer picture of the obverse? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10475 Posts	Posted 12/23/2025 12:29 am Can't be a lamination error as it is a copper plated zinc core cent. Report this Post to the Staff

hlw1976 Valued Member United States 422 Posts	Posted 12/23/2025 01:42 am So what causes the wanna be lamination to peel off Report this Post to the Staff
hlw1976 Valued Member United States 422 Posts	Posted 12/23/2025 01:44 am Cause I thought it was a copper lamination Report this Post to the Staff
I6609 Pillar of the Community United States 1227 Posts	Posted 12/23/2025 04:22 am It's not lamination and it didn't peel you would see the zinc core if it had peeled. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8726 Posts	Posted 12/23/2025 06:30 am The new pic of the reverse shows some odd colors as if it were heated at some point. I would say the heat made the copper plating bubble up on the obverse. Just a damaged coin but cool looking. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15386 Posts	Posted 12/23/2025 08:07 am Impossible for it to be a traditional lamination as this is a zinc core cent. Something happened to the copper plating. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19112 Posts	Posted 12/23/2025 09:15 am Possibly a plating issue. Is that 'lumpy' looking feature mostly raised, or sunken (incuse)? Report this Post to the Staff
