Is this an error and if so what is the name? 1983 1 c strikes thru -ONE CENT

Error? Type? Is this from circulation or minting?

Very well circulated zinc Cent which appears to be lamination error on the reverse. IMO

Nope..
Linear Plating Blisters.

 

Thanks a lot for posts

 

Plated cents do not have lamination errors.

 

Plating bubble.

 

Thanks Paddyman98 I was leaning towards that but I went with lamination error.

I read that this type of error only occurs after the 1982 transition

 

Yes. Because all Cents minted after mid 1982 are Copper Plated Zinc Cents which can have plating issues. Plating Bubbles, Plating Blisters, Split Plating and Orange Peel texture... If at anytime the Plating is exposed the Cent Zinc Core can have Zinc Rot.
Nothing really major.

 

@Wheels. In addition to Paddyman's explanation, purchasing plated planchets was a new process for the mint in 1982. Plating blisters and split copper were common on Zincoln cents during the 80's. You'll find 80's coins where the plating has split around the date and letters, plus a lot of the linear plating blisters, as shown by the OP. Eventually, the mint and its vendors figured out how to make the planchets and how to strike them, so the they are not as common now.

 

Thank you I am learning quite a lot about minting and coins never thought it was this interesting so many details is hard to grasp, your comments are educative I have been looking at coins for a long time thru my life, lol and never knew Lincoln was sitting in his chair inside the mausoleum all this time

 

Just a memorial. Not a mausoleum. Lincoln is buried in Springfield, IL
