BJ Neff Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 09/22/2011 7:30 pm Unique way of taking a photograph. I follow Coop's thought that this is a gas bubble that is trapped between the copper layer and the zinc core. BJ Neff Report this Post to the Staff
ilikeikes Pillar of the Community United States 1205 Posts	Posted 09/22/2011 9:19 pm I'LL Follow Coop & B.J.'s lead....Gas Bubble...here's more, from the www: . Gas Bubbles under Copper Coating - obv/rev - plating bubbles are caused by gas that gets trapped between the zinc core and the copper plating when it is applied. These plating blisters involves a mix of improperly washed planchets, contaminated plating material, and plating at the wrong temperatures. These coins have gas bubbles trapped underneath the copper plating that welled upward when the coin was struck. There are tons of these post 1983 cents in circulation Report this Post to the Staff
