<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jallengomez, post: 1921318, member: 19748&quot;]I can only speak for Lincoln Cents such as the one posted because that&#039;s my specialty, but I can say that with copper plated Cents, linear plating disturbances caused by gas trapped between the core and the plating are not uncommon at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the cause of the blisters, when it comes to Lincoln Cents, everything points to them being caused by the strike, because with off-center cents where blisters are present, the unstruck part of the planchet does not show the blisters. One might exist, but I&#039;ve yet to see an unstruck planchet or unstruck portion of a planchet that exhibits plating problems. It it&#039;s debatable, then these would certainly have to exist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
