It looks like a gas bubble or a die dent. Press on it with a tooth pick,if it dents it's gas.

Thanks John1, good idea. I tried that then ramped it up to a pin which chipped off the plating a bit but the bump is still there. I wasn't saving the penny for anything in particular so I then tried a fine knife but it didn't pop, must have been the die I guess.

Usually if the bubble does not dent with a tooth pick then it's a die dent and not a gas bubble.
