<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 3273589, member: 17665&quot;]I&#039;m only going to try this once but in the end, you believe what you will. Ever since the Mint started to plate cents in 1982 they have had nothing but trouble with the process. It has not been corrected to this day. Plating issues can take on all sorts of weird looks. Linear bubbles can travel across the entire coins. Hundreds of bubbles can be on a coin and look like letters and numerals if you stare at them long enough. Zinc rot is a disaster to these cents and you will see exploded numerals and letters where the thin plating wears or is not adhered to the surface correctly. You will not get a different answer here, at least from anyone knowledgable, that will change the fact that your coin is damaged. Most dealers do not study errors in a way that would make them experts. They mostly sell errors as a sideline. If a dealer offered you more than one cent then he was doing you a favor, and I&#039;m not being snarky. If Coin World has offered to do an article on your coin, then take them up on it. But the truth, though hard to take, is the answer will remain the same. This is damage after it left the Mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
