[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 3273663, member: 74863"]That's a plating blister, which can occur in any shape or size anywhere on a Zinc Cent. The first Zinc cents appeared in 1982 but it wasn't until 1983 that production went full tilt. 1983 cents ate notorious for plating blisters. Zinc is a poor material to use as a coin. You can even see Zinc rot occurring on your coin in the word LIBERTY. The value of this coin is one cent. I'd spent it before it rots away to nothing.[/QUOTE]
