Need clearer Pics please. Try the cellphone set-up or similar to??

 

I'm thinking Linear Plating Bubble.

 

Yes, possible linear "Plating blister" but still need better Pics.

Possible die gouge? Dark stripe could be either bad metal mix or stain.

 

I read that after Mary had their last child there was no more hanky panky going on in the Lincoln BR, that's probably why Abe is a little blue!

 

The coin looks like a 1982 bronze issue not plated Zn.

 

Ok. Let's ask.

@Hazmatt
Can you weigh the coin please.

 

I was going to pull your leg paddy and tell you there was no need to weigh it; and that the coin was 100% struck from a known bronze die (#6774 MDS) due to the diagnostic die polish I see.

Anyway, if the images were not out of focus I would say it was caused by a piece of debris rolled into a bronze planchet.

 

2.5 gentlemen & here are some better pictures

 

I hope the way I took the newer pictures helps. I thought they were better

 

Slightly better. Show coin w/o being on scale and what's up with the Obverse?
Reverse: Raised line- Linear plating blister
recessed line- "Cat scratch fever". :0

 

Paddyman & Insider wanted better pictures so I did my best and for the scale they wanted to know what it weighed cause it was a 1982. Now another question is a plating bubble that big and straight?

 

Oh and for the obverse the black coloring I don't know what did that

 

For now, lets just say Post Mint Damage. See how the line is too straight and goes across the letters not under??

 

2.5 grams
It's a Copper Plated Zinc Planchet

Definitely a linear plating bubble.

 

Sal.. It's definitely a linear plating blister.

 

Then the black streak must ne zinc corrosion.-

 

Yes! I’ve seen bigger ones.

 

Nah.. just a stain.
