Looks like it has some glue on it

 

[michealvince]

[l.cutler]

I agree, glue. Soak it in some acetone and see if it comes off.

Never seen Abe's beard shifted like that. Got me. 😮

It is still glue or some similar substance.

I have to agree with l.cutler. I believe this is the result of glue or similar adhesive.

The apperance of this cent is clearly not a lamination problem of any known kind. Copper plated zinc cents do not have lamination problems. Any separation would be a plating issue. Clearly not a plating issue that I have ever seen.

Have you tried acetone yet? Acetone will cause most adhesives and glues to separate from most metals, including copper and zinc. If there is no adhesive, acetone will not attack copper or zinc.

Time for more coffee.

If you look close I have it under a meg-glass in the one pic. I swear on everything it's not glue its in the casting / die look close.. And yes I did clean it w acetone my mom does nails lol

The only thing I can think of at this point is a very serious plating separation, although I have never seen one like yours. Also, how long did you let the cent soak in the acetone?

Past time for more coffee.

 

[michealvince]

I just wipe it off

 

[Swaveab]

That could be an epoxy of some sort.

Looks like the pennies i get from my cup holder in the center console of my car. Defiantly something has spilled on it.

 

[michealvince]

Belive me its not glue !!!!!!

 

[l.cutler]

You asked, and you got answers. If you don't like the answers then spend your money and send it to one of the professional graders but I suspect the verdict will be the same.
