yanks21 Valued Member United States 277 Posts	Posted 01/05/2018 10:51 pm I was finishing the last of these 1958's and came across this one. I tried to Get pictures from different angles but I'm not sure if the pics bring out what I see when magnified. There is a lot going on with this one. Even the back has some type of bubbles. I don't know what's going on with this one. Report this Post to the Staff

yanks21 Valued Member United States 277 Posts	Posted 01/05/2018 11:24 pm I'm not sure what's going on. There is no grooves or gouges near that slab on copper. There looks to be a layer missing under Liberty and some bubbles by the Cent. I have no guesses. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 01/05/2018 11:26 pm It could possibly be occluded gas bubbles. Quote: Solid-alloy cents minted in 1982 and earlier can have occluded gas bubbles caused from heat generated when a planchet is struck. The expanding gas pushes a layer of metal towards the surface of the coin, resulting in a raised area or bubble. Occluded gas bubbles are much rarer than the blistered plating found on newer cents. http://Lincolncentsonline.com/miscellaneous.html Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/06/2018 12:22 am After what Claude just said, could be. My first thought was heat, got torched, that could have caused bubbling also. Never hear of that, thanks CWB! Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 01/06/2018 01:13 am Emphasis on the "possibly". I haven't seen occluded gas bubbles with such a distinct edge before. It does look like heat damage though, so if they're not gas bubbles it could have been in a fire. Looking at the condition of the rest of the coin, that would be my guess.
