I was just wondering if this is a error on this coin from all the air bubbles. I read some were they consider this to be a error from all the bubbles. I have coins like this but not this bad off one.
They are called plating bubbles/blisters It happens on Copper Plated Zinc cents. That's why they are called Crappy Zincolns Some information http://www.error-ref.com/blisteredplating/ Use that website's menu to look at all the other Mint Errors. They describe a lot of them really well. That way you don't have to say "I read somewhere" Now you can say "I read on Error-ref.com"
In a sense yes it’s a mint error. The problem is that no one cares. Not even the Mint. If they did they’d fix it but they don’t. We have had these plating bubbles on cent since 1982. The mint makes millions of them every year. You should put that in a 2x2 and mark it for future reference.
There are reasons for the issue your coin has. Ponder the coin manufacturing process and you will see possible ways this could happen and remember, the planchets are out sourced.
It’s a mint error only in the sense that they used what was provided to them by their contractor. I’ve seen much worse…imo…Spark
