crab eater Pillar of the Community Australia 627 Posts	Posted 06/06/2021 01:34 am I do not know how to get a better close up , this is 4times magnification on my phone. Edited photo once on computer to magnify and then save as a new photo but is no where to be found in the photo gallery? This is the best I can do ATM. Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 06/19/2021 07:18 am Might be a small bit of wire getting embedded in the die then falling out to leave a little valley on the die's surface. Report this Post to the Staff
crab eater Pillar of the Community Australia 627 Posts	Posted 07/04/2021 01:49 am Thanks for your comment. I have noodled over 100 of these with the same 'hickey' but to varying degrees of depth. Also the background has a bubbly effect to it which I have not seen on any other coin ever. The background is not a clean sheen finish as normal.? Report this Post to the Staff
Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 07/11/2021 8:30 pm That seems to have popped up on some 2019 5c pieces too - not sure what it is but my suspicion is that the dies have continued to be used after getting a bit clogged. Report this Post to the Staff
