Just curious if anybody has an opinion on the value of this unfortunate penny. Other than the horrible minting job, this one is cherry. Thoughts? Worth more than $0.01?

Now that's an extreme plating bubbling and I am sure someone might pay a couple dollars but usually this adds no extra value.

To bad it isn't a CAM. These zincolns sure have taken away from what a good cent should look like. Plating issues, zinc corrosion, they are like they are intended to be used for a few years then just waste away. It is a pretty good example of plating issues though. Neat coin.
