need better pics

 

See if you can get a little closer, stay steady and then crop the pic and post it full size:

 

Meow has found a few like that too, and is not positive what causes that. Meow suspects tumbled in a dryer with other coins for a long time maybe.

 

The other ones attached is a 1990 from what I could see with a magnifying glass

 

Are those phots good enough or shall I try again

 

Both coins are just damaged. The zinc was exposed on the 1990 and is corroding away. Hard to say exactly what happened to the 1981 but definitely has been damaged post minting.

 

No more pictures needed

The Copper 1981 is damaged. Called a dryer coin as stated.

The 1990 copper plated cent is damaged also. Exposed plating ate away at the zinc core. Environmental Damage.

None are mint errors

@l.cutler you beat me to the answer
