  This bubbling on the coin is not from a rusted die. It is quite common on Zinc Lincolns, and I believe it is from the copper plating not adhering properly to the zinc core.

  Thank you for that!! Very good information! I can use that!!

  The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
