KoolKat Valued Member Canada 210 Posts	Posted 11/18/2013 11:47 am That's very interesting,a straight bubble trail.So, when this coin was struck,pressure under the lamination was forced out in a straight line? Report this Post to the Staff

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 11/18/2013 11:15 pm Those plated pennies are full of gas trail/lines like this. Yours, however, with that nice long one running across almost the whole face of it is nice. I'd keep it for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
KoolKat Valued Member Canada 210 Posts	Posted 11/19/2013 01:13 am Had me fooled for a bit though, I thought at first it was a die crack, but yes, I have other pennies with varying degrees of these gas bubbles.Would this be considered an error? If so, a very common one indeed. Report this Post to the Staff
