I agree with Chase, but have no idea how it occurred.

My only other thought is could it be a Lamination issue? I'm out of ideas of what it might be. It's very unusual.

The edge of the coin looks exactly the same all the way around. Like Chase said there is no discoloration whatsoever.

Just trying to come up with some crazy possibility: How about some form of an extreme counter clash?  |

Perhaps an issue with the obverse die?

Wondering, can it be depressed? Something between the clad plating and copper core that existed prior to being a blank (maybe a substance used at the manufacturer) then once the planchet was struck the heat caused the "substance" to expand. That's all I got'......... |

I would agree with those who've concluded that this is an occluded gas bubble. I suspect that the bubble developed within the clad layer, thereby making this a relative of an internally split clad layer.

The bubble can be slightly depressed. The idea of it being a gas bubble seems the most logical to me.

very nice! thanks for piping in Mike! Maybe you should ask a bit more than $20 for this coin now.  |

Yes I'm starting to think $20 is a little low... I don't think I can cancel an ebay auction so if one of you guys gets it for that price congrats! |

Yes, you can end an auction if you want.

I think I am still going to let it run and see what happens. Good to know for the future though
