I thought I would put that out there with no text, love the replys! Such a sence of humor...I am not sure what this is but will be in my pile of coins at the next coin show. Maybe the answer is in the 'o' in rot..

No there is no other bubbles and is why I think this is unusual. If it had other bubbles I don't think I would waste my time with it. When I look at in through the loupe it has a clean side to it, unlike the bubbles that have a curve to it.

We have seen zinc gas bubbles that have popped and looked like "D"...if you were to clean the coin the middle of the "o" will probably show zinc. only dip in acetone and rinse with water.you can use a very used tooth brush or a tooth pick to gently clean the "o" .
