Spence Moderator United States 34441 Posts	Posted 05/25/2023 06:06 am That surface discoloration around the mintmark is odd, but doesn't add to the value. The bump is either a small die chip or a plating bubble.

bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24182 Posts	Posted 05/25/2023 08:46 am Plating bubbles and tiny die chips aren't any big deal at all. A guy on Facebook a month or so ago was all proud of his die chip, I pulled 11 coins out of my pocket and 7 had small die chips. I put them in a clump and took a hi-res image and uploaded it. He still didn't believe me, said I already had those coins set aside and was trying to fool him. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19241 Posts	Posted 05/25/2023 08:48 am I'm thinking emerging split plating issue, which is beginning to expose the zinc core--which is leading to zinc rot. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98107 Posts	Posted 05/25/2023 08:55 am Yes, that is a plating bubble - in a common area for it to form for some reason. Collecting since 1972.

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 05/25/2023 09:30 am Given time, the area around mint mark will grow larger until it dissolves. It is a zinc bubble. Report this Post to the Staff
