Hey Spence, that's a negative on depressing it with a toothpick. It still looks the same.

Interesting, possibly debris trapped under the plating.  |

Interesting. If it is caused by debris under the plating, it must have popped up post- strike and would suggest that it is a gas bubble. Otherwise, it would have to have been a depression on the die, right?

to the CCF! I'm in the Linear Plating Blister camp as well. It's not a dropped letter as it's bigger that any of the letters on the coin and the ends look rounded, not blocked like the digit 1 of the date. Even though it can't be depressed with a wooden toothpick, it doesn't mean it's not a blister, as some just don't flex when manipulated.

A dropped letter would be incuse. This looks raised. It is too tall to be a device. I feel it is a linear plating bubble also.

Hello All! Thanks for all of the replies. It seems like plating blisters is the consensus, but I may send it in for authentication just to be sure. Again, thank you all for the responses.

Just a suggestion...
Some of the people responding here are easily just as capable as the people at the grading companies. On many occasions, these CCF members are more familiar/qualified since they are specialists in the areas they share information about. In fact, one CCF member and error specialist, Mike Diamond, is THE go to person in the hobby for error coins and has quite the list of credentials to prove it. The grading companies respect his opinion.
You can spend the money to have it slabbed, and if you like slabs, go for it! But the people who have chimed in here on this coin are people who thoroughly understand the minting process, know what can happen to coins at the mint and therefore can give the best advice. You now have free advice that will just be parroted by the companies...but it will still be a coin of one cent value in nice looking 35.00 holder.
This situation happens over and over on this forum. You could find and PM Mike from this forum if you want to know the final word. From similar threads in the past, I highly suspect the results will be what has been posted here already.

Hello Earle, I meant no disrespect at all. I understand there are a lot of experienced coin handlers in this community and I really mean no disrespect by saying I'll send it in. Sending it in is just for my sanity, and to put the wondering (by me) to rest. I appreciate the time people took to take a look and send me a reply, it at least put me on the right path.

@Melo I want to assure you I never would have thought that! This hobby is about personal fun. And whatever you enjoy/want as part of your hobby is most important  I am sorry if I came across that way! I see you are new to CCF. I know a lot of people coming to our family are coin newbies. Being a former educator, I try to counter the prominent, and unfortunate mindset newbies encounter nowadays that has them assume grading companies are the last word in what is "fact" in the hobby. This is very far from the truth. See this - their own product shows their marketers are some of their best employees: http://goccf.com/t/346174#2967242Please note I am not saying these companies are evil. They are a typical business out to make a profit. unfortunately they do not live up to their claims. This is why we at CCF say to buy the coin and not the slab. . How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

@Earle, thanks! I just wanted to make sure I didn't ruffle any feathers with anyone that took time out of their day to look and respond to my post. I am new to CCF, although I've been lurking around as a guest for a while. Haha. Your post didn't come across any sort of way, I just wanted to be sure I meant no disrespect to anyone. I appreciate all of the insight and information from you seasoned vets in the Coin World! |
