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'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?
