Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 09/28/2022 10:38 pm plating bubbles can take on any shape. Take a toothpick and see if it pops. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/29/2022 04:17 am Might be a bubble or hard debris, either way it is a plating issue not an error. Your full coin photos are too dark. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/29/2022 1:05 pm Debris: (Dust under the plating if it is solid) If an air bubble, they will flatten with a toothpick as already mentioned. Report this Post to the Staff
