That is not an error of any kind. It's a copper plated zinc cent with post mint blisters due to long time exposure to saltwater or harsh chemical. The zinc underneath started to rot.

 

You won't find that issue in any of those websites.

 

Not an error as stated above but still a cent.

 

I just want to make it clear that the blisters on the Cent in question occured after the cent was minted. The website info you provided is on bubbles/blisters that occur before. There's a huge difference.

 

Ok,so basically zinc deterioration over the past 29 years.

 

Okay guys... Grumble grumble.

Not an error by any definition of the word. It’s a copper coated zinc cent that has blisters that’s causing the coin to rot.

 

@Mark68 read @paddyman98's comment above,I made the same mistake.

 

I agree that it looks like corrosion. Monkey pox or what @paddyman98: would say soaking in a puddle of urine.

 

A clear case of monkey pox in its late stages.

 

That's hard to say.. The cent could of been perfect for 28 years then a year ago it was exposed to something that caused the bubbles
It really doesn't matter when it occurred. It just did.

 

You beat me to it, lol

 

I haven't seen a ban on mentioning cowpox yet. It is a relative of smallpox and used to be almost zero, but most thought smallpox was extinct and didn't need vaccinations, so it is spreading. Jim

 

Looks like Melvin from The Toxic Avenger (1984):

 

Must have went to Europe to that "party"!

 

Don't touch it, it looks like it's contagious!
