Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 11:29 am It looks like a raised welt. Comments appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 12:56 pm Looks like a die scratch. If it were a occluded gas bubble it would have to be on a solid copper planchet, and it would also show on the nose. (It would be raised.) Instead it doesn't affect the higher part of the nose. Its also not a linear plating bubble as it would have flowed over the nose as well. Just a die scratch on a zinc planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 1:55 pm Let me learn a little more... If that is a scratch on the die, then might there be other examples showing this scratch? Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 9:20 pm I don't think it is a die scratch, I think it is plating bubbles. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/12/2014 1:01 pm Conder101 might be correct. Could we have a full image of the coin on both sides? If it is a linear plating bubble, we might see more bubbles in other areas of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 07/12/2014 11:27 pm The inconsistent thickness, depth, and sharpness is not what would be expected from a die scratch. This is just a linear plating bubble. And very nice close-ups, by the way, Chute72! Edited by ErrorCoins222 07/12/2014 11:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 07/13/2014 10:19 am I'm trying to catch up on a few bills, so I haven't bought a new coin for a while. But when cleaning the house, I found a small container of Wheaties. I just think this might be a good time to learn about them. Thanks all. More to follow. Report this Post to the Staff
