I've done some looking but can't find anything similar. I only have a 10x triplet so I couldn't get super fine detail but from me moving a light aroi nd and it cast a small shadow. That is how I determined it was a raised bubble. What do you guys think and have you seen it before? Report this Post to the Staff

Terrafried New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 07/04/2017 7:19 pm I'm strictly talking about the bubble between the A and M. Other than that it is a normal 1999 no mint mark Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 07/04/2017 9:03 pm Your last pic is quite nice. The anomaly you have pointed out would be one of three things , a plating bubble , a die chip , or a die dent. While these can be interesting , the size and location of the anomaly on your coin carries little collector interest other than an excellent learning experience ! Report this Post to the Staff
