<p>[QUOTE=&quot;non_cents, post: 1687383, member: 30970&quot;]Welcome to the forum. You&#039;ll probbly get a better response by starting a new thread instead of posting on one from 2007, but I&#039;ll try to answer your questions anyway.</p><p>The line is a linear plating bubble underneath the copper plating of the coin. All cents minted after 1982 are made of 97.5% zinc with a 2.5% copper plating. Sometimes impurities in the coin can cause bubbles like this. They are not worth a premium.</p><p>In regard to the weakness in the word OF and that general area on the reverse. That is very common, and for some reason a lot of cents have a weaker motto in that area. If you look at more coins (especially from the 1990s) you will see this is common on the reverse. </p><p>Hope this helps. Keep up the hunt![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
