What 1982 Lincoln Memorial Variety is this?

It is in a PCGS 65 holder however the variety is not listed on the slab. I believe it is a large date but cannot discern whether it is copper or zinc. My intuition tells me it is zinc as there appears to be some bubbling that is notorious on the early date zincs.

Can anyone tell what this one is:

    It appears to be a zinc cent because of the micro-bubbles found in the center of the obverse.

    The top of the one appears to have some separation and there
    may be a hyphen in front of it.

    Yeah, it's a large date, of course.

    These are gonna be tough by the time most of them get done rotting away. All
    these early dates seem to have plating issues and this applies to some later
    dates as well.
