Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 12/27/2006 01:03 am its a ruptured gas bubble between the plating and the zinc core,, or at least thats my opinion. a very common occurance on the plated cents. Rick Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/27/2006 7:16 pm Actually it's a struck through - something hard and small. A ruptured bubble would look like a popped blister. This has beveled edges. Report this Post to the Staff
TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 12/28/2006 08:04 am I agree with Coppercoins, a struck thru. Report this Post to the Staff

TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 12/28/2006 4:21 pm " So the little piece that is retained inside the area is what ? Rick" Rick: The little piece in the middle is the part of the planchet that was not struck thru. Picture a piece of wire (or equivalent) laying on the planchet in a circular shape. The part with the wire will be recessed, and the part (inside) without the wire covering the planchet will 'stand up'. Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 12/29/2006 12:31 pm I guess I'm not seeing this the same way as coppercoins and Treashunt,, it looks like the center is depressed to me, and has gone into an empty or void area Like the top of a bubble has been broken out an pushed down by whatever mechanism/ But who am I to disagree .

stmpcol Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 12/29/2006 3:21 pm Rick, on the first two pictures it looks sunk in to me, but on the third I see it the same as CC & TreasHunt. Of course I've read 2 opinions, so it could just be in my mind. Report this Post to the Staff
