<p>[QUOTE=&quot;d_lairson, post: 361329, member: 8441&quot;]I have this strange 1982 cent that I have no idea what happened to it. I&#039;m trying to get a picture (Probably tonight) but I thought I would try and developed some rampant speculation!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I&#039;m assuming this is a zinc cent from the look of it. The head is covered in bubbles, from the bottom of WE down to just above the bottom of his coat. The bubbles go complete from side to side. On the reverse the bubbles are confined to almost the exact ring of the text. Otherwise the cent looks like it came right out of the roll. Under 10x there does not appear to be any wear either above the bubbles or below them.</p><p><br /></p><p>My first inclination is post mint damage, but how could you do damage like this without discoloring the coin? I was thinking that if you put a very hot source on the reverse, that might explain why the copper bubbled on the obverse, but I don&#039;t know.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll get pictures tonight,</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>David[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
