    I am loving learning from you guys. Reading the printed matter can be a bit dry but you give it straight and in laymans terms.
    Anyway, this '82 cent has a thin ribbon of extra material running from the right top edge of the T in cent, across the corner of the steps to the rim.
    Also, the E in pluribus has been covered with 3 small "blobs".
    The surface of the obverse is covered in small bumps all over.
    I'm not interested in a fiscal answer because i know most errors etc. hardly add any value. I am more interested in learning about all the different ways the process can produce these anomolies 20200323_155137.jpg 20200323_155335.jpg

    That's a plating blister. A die crack will be raised but the difference is very obvious.

    Yes to linear plating bubble.
    Common issue on Copper Plated Zinc Cents
    Nothing really major.

    I am sure you would find a lot more examples doing a search here, than just about any other place on the internet.
