1986 CENT BUBBLED OBVERSE

I was coin roll hunting yesterday and found this 1986 cent with bubbles here and there on the obverse...I think I may have found a coin with bubbles before, but certainly not
this bubbled up. What do you guys think? Did this happen at the mint, or was he laying
out in the hot sun all day?
( I've done that before ) Look at the big bubble in his ear

What a train wreck. @dwhiz

 

Damaged

 

SURPRISE!…the Mint didn’t make them. A Contractor made them. Badly.
…The Eighties were the “Trial an Error” period for the contractors to try and figure out how to copper-plate zinc planchets. They failed miserably, but kinda got on the right track going into the ‘90s.

Imagine…paying contractors for over a decade to produce inferior results…yet another indicator of the total collapse of caring of the cent by the Mint.
…imo…Spark

 

Nice Pun! LOL. More like "going off the rails on a crazy train!"

 

Thanks Cheech9712 !!! Now I don't want to go on a train ride anymore!

 

A pox upon that coin.... although it appears it may already have one

 

Looks like it was plated with ostrich skin!

 

Shhhhhhh, the mint might try that next if they hear you....
