Need the pros to take a look at this one. It has two raised areas on the obverse. One behind Lincoln' back running into the Y in LIBERTY, the other in front on his forehead. No indication of being damaged that could have caused this. No sign of being heated. The planchet is a little thinner above his head and below the bust. It weighs 3.2. Any ideas how this happened is appreciated.

I'll still guess heat damage.

There are "occluded gas bubbles" but I would also lean towards heat damage. The heavy weight is odd though.

I'm stumped by this one too and would fall back on damage from heat, although normally those are clad coins that seem to bubble in this way. It couldn't have been struck this way though, right?

The cracks, that the OP was good enough to include, are what make me lean towards heat damage, of some sort.

If the light to take the picture was diffused wax paper between coin and light the glare takes away from the images.

I know I keep ones like this if anything it is odd and it won't eat much.
