Thats what I get for posting at 5:30am while waiting for the coffee pot to finish. I ignored the year a bit... @renard - Its a Copper cent as its pre-1982. Gas bubbles on Zinc cents (1982-forward). So Jasper possibly has it right as a die chip. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/24/2013 08:02 am The copper planchet coins stopped in 1982 part way through the year. The last part of the year till now, they use the zinc plated with copper. These have the problem with gas bubbles under the plating. The color of you image doesn't look correct. But is the raised area just something on the coin? The same color? Report this Post to the Staff

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 08/24/2013 10:37 am I would think that it may be a corroded die. I seen something similar on a an IHC (although it was located on the nostril) that I wish I would have acquired...she was a beauty. The raised up area was not the reason, she was a real looker!
