Ok and just to be clear--these appear to be raised above the surface of the coin. Is that right, or are they below?

Weight? If 3.11, the coin is copper. Then they would not be linear plating bubbles. If 2.5 it would be a zinc cent. It appears that there is no line over the tops of the devices. If they disappear behind the devices, they could be die scratches. But there is not extra metal on the coin. The coin goes into the machine and comes out of the machine with the same weight. The only time it will be heavier, is when a part of the die breaks off and is struck onto the coin:  No matter the design, the die cracks, breaks, scratches even Cuds, do not add metal to the coin. The coin going in one weight and most of the time comes out the same weight. The metal is distributed evenly across the coin. If the weight is under, then the design will suffer.    The strike will show it one area is thinner and they weight is under. But there is no extra metal on a coin. It is spread out as much as needed for the strike. |

The last images are nice.
The reverse line appears to be a long die scratch. The obverse looks to be damage. There is an incuse (recessed) area to the north of the raised area. It is most evident on his lapel.
