[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3942602, member: 77814"]here's a brief items - read 5, 6 & 7 [URL]https://www.coinworld.com/news/precious-metals/unexpected-bumps-on-coins-surfaces-vary.html[/URL] There is a book "Looking Through Lincoln Cents: Chronology of a Series" by Chris Daughtrey which goes over the "disasterous lincoln cents" since a few pages are public in google I'll show an excerpt [URL]https://books.google.com/books?id=AZtmYVOV7YwC&pg=PA299&lpg=PA299&dq=zinc+cent+mint+mark+corrosion+fall&source=bl&ots=YnmYoPNu1m&sig=ACfU3U1LlkrbyVWY8DHbGfe3gtYf6qbAeA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj32832vr_mAhXNZs0KHbwBCs8Q6AEwDHoECAsQAQ#v=onepage&q=zinc%20cent%20mint%20mark%20corrosion%20fall&f=false[/URL] [ATTACH=full]1039268[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1039269[/ATTACH] The most captivating statement though is the last sentence. "The only error on these coins is the Mint's decision to make cents with a vulnerable metal." So, when you look at mid 1982 and onwards (through TODAY) cents be aware that you will see a lot of problems with them. Just watch CT and many people post things that they think are "mint errors" which is just plain old corrosion of some type at some level of the cent itself. Remember, these are made for money, not for "collectors". their design was based on the ability of people identifying them as money to pay for stuff .. not to collect. Otherwise they should make each one much slower, more carefully, put them in their own silk bags and velvet boxes and sell each penny for $17.95 LOL[/QUOTE]
