1985 s penny bubbles?

Hi, I'm new to the error coin craze and I have a question about a penny I have. It appears to look like my 1985 D penny has bubbles and melting?
Any input on this would be great.
Thanks!

Sorry, that's not an example of
copper plating bubbles.

Your coin has been damaged in circulation.
It wasn't struck like that, and didn't leave
the Mint like that.

Keep looking, but use that cent as an example
of PMD (post-Minting Damage) to learn some
of the numerous things that happen to coins
when they get into circulation.

 

Thanks for the feedback! I have lots of coins I'm curious about but have a hard time finding clarity on exactly what the differences are. Even after reading about errors. Gets confusing at times.

 

It takes time. Read a lot, look at a lot of coins, and continue to ask questions. I've been actively collecting since 1970 and am still learning things on a regular basis.

Just remember, when you think you know everything, that's usually when you find out that you really don't know that much.

 

Coin measles.

 

I like that one.

 

So what would this one be considered??

 

The rim looks interesting on this one.

My guess is this is also PMD. Looks kind of like coin was used a jewelry. Like in a pendant.

Just my humble guess. I would still keep it just because of the way it looks and its a Wheat Cent.

 

The cent above was removed from
a "Lucky Penny" aluminum ring.

 

it used to be like this

 

Woohoo I was on the right track with this one.

 

Thanks! That's really cool to know.

 

A craze? It's nothing new..
I myself have been collecting Mint Errors for over 3 decades!

 

I think there may be a typo. It should be "CRAZY", which says a lot about this group.

 

Lol! I think I'm going to like it here.

 

Me also

 

So I have an 1985 D that looks like the one she described to begin this thread. Bubbles and melting.... her's seems to have some other damage as well but the basic issues are there.

Railroad rims and PMD, maybe plating blisters, with these new zinc cents its common.


Thanks,

Here's my bubbly just found. Didn't think it was post mint, but maybe so
