1983 Lincoln Penny

Hi everyone,
I’vE done a lot of reading on the 83 cent due to the copper-zinc error but I have something different. Because of the popular error I can not find anything on this and I am hoping for some help and or guidance. I have one that is dotter or speckled with extra metal. I do not believe it is a copper metal combo but have never come across one like this before.

Welcome to CT. Looks like a combination of blisters and zinc rot. Not really an error, just one of out modern crummy cent coins.

 

Thank you for the help.
Blisters? I can tell you that the dotting is solid metal. Is that considered blisters.

 

Plating bubbles? The zincs are junk.

 

Abe has the pox.

 

Thank you.

 

How would you know if they are blisters or solid?

 

I can’t get them off or pop them. I’m sorry but I am new at this. When you say blister I was thinking hollow. Am I wrong?

 

Yes, blister would be hollow, but they are so small and are a blister in a copper sheet, so they would be hard to flex or "pop"

 

Yes. Get him to ER, he needs to see a coin doctor.

 

Oh. Ok. Tha S probably what is it then. Thank you so much for the help.
