1993 Cent Error?

Came across this in a roll kinda interesting. Thanks for any info ahead of time!

Looks like it’s just a rotting zincoln to me.

 

[galenrog]

The zinc core is oxidizing, causing plating to do all kinds of things. It is called zinc rot, zlincoln rot, and numerous other things.

Time for more coffee.

Understandable but whats with the stuff next to the one is my question.

See answers above.

Oxidation, scrape the bubble off, you’ll see a green pit like in his shoulder

 

[troutstalker]

OK but I still see the top of what looks to be a second one and and id rather not scrape like it the way it is but thank you for your o·pin·ion

Definitely a plating bubble, so common on these coins.

It's a plating bubble, pure and simple. Nothing in the minting process could cause another 1 to be there. Not opinion, but fact.

I have to agree good to ask though

Yeah, I’d hate for you to ruin it.... be a shame to devalue it.

Zinc cancer

As the zinc deteriorates it can expand under the copper plating and push it up. Similar reaction (expanding) happens to iron that rusts. Push on it with a toothpick and it will compress.

It really is Post Strike Damage, not opinion.
