John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/04/2016 6:17 pm to CCF. Looks like a broke gas bubble to me. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
JohnDeVito Valued Member United States 196 Posts	Posted 05/04/2016 6:31 pm If it were doubling, especially that severely offset, you would certainly see it affecting all of the devices around the coin. John1 may have a point there as it looks like there is another significant gas bubble in the field behind Lincoln's head. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/05/2016 2:28 pm When the plating gets split, the zinc underneath rots away leaving a hole blow the split area. They keep deteriorating with time: Report this Post to the Staff
