Here are some pics of a 1990P I found. This is why the treasury should not have used so much zinc and why it is important to store your coins properly... Enjoy the pics... I hope they came out good!!!
Thanks,
Jim

The zinc cents are terrible! It's like we now have "disposable" money. They do make it much more difficult for the collector.

Before you know it we will need a setup to seal the coins in a nitrogen atmosphere in order to prevent corrosion... Unfortunately if there is gas bubbles under the copper plate then it may be to late anyway!!!
