CharPDX214 Valued Member United States 118 Posts	Posted 06/22/2026 12:41 am Good evening all, I have a 1994 LMC that has a raised area on the reverse side. I'm curious if this is caused by a die dent or is it a type of die chip. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

CharPDX214 Valued Member United States 118 Posts	Posted 06/22/2026 08:48 am when you are trying to learn about the hobby I think all questions help. I saw this before zooming in as far as I did in the first 2 photos. Just trying to further my knowledge by researching the scenario and then asking this forum questions if I feel I hadnt found the answer through searching the web but maybe I'm going about it all wrong? Thanks for the input everyone and have a good monday! Report this Post to the Staff

CharPDX214 Valued Member United States 118 Posts	Posted 06/22/2026 12:37 pm Thank you Snailking1 that was a suggestion I saw when researching but did not have one to use at the time. I will do the tooth pick test when I get home from work and update this thread with the results. Report this Post to the Staff

CharPDX214 Valued Member United States 118 Posts	Posted 06/22/2026 4:59 pm The verdict is In. It is a plating blister. After pressing on it the bubble colapsed. Thanks for everybodys input! Report this Post to the Staff
