    it's a zincoln.
    Zinc Core. Copper plated
    there was a gas bubble underneath it. It's gonna start eating itself soon.
    there's before, during and after pics somewhere ...

    any cent past 1982 is a problem coin. It's gonna eat itself alive sooner or later .. self-cannibalism.

    If you are going to keep it, put it in an air tight coin holder so the rot doesn't get worse and give Lincoln a case of chicken pox.

    Very good Claw! Linking Marfan's disease ( mutated BFN-1) to Lincoln Cent, but penicillin isn't a mutagen of the connective tissue fibers. Although zinc rot does look like the mold. :) Jim
