    I just checked my collection bin from a while back and found this Wheat cent. As I'd tried to figured out whats wrong with it and see some sort of zinc rot, but realized it was copper not copper plated zinc. Also, there might be lamination on the obverse. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks you very much guys! 20180712_235601-ccfopt.jpg 20180712_235618-ccfopt.jpg 20180712_211536-ccfopt.jpg 20180712_211525-ccfopt.jpg

    Yes. It is called a Lamination Crack. Very common on old Wheat Cents.
    The rest looks like Environmental Damage. Water could corrode the copper surface.

    Looks like the area were the T in Trust folded over. That is where the
    Lamination peeled.
