Nice thinking on your part to drop a Note to Staff as you did, it was just what you needed. This is the right place for your question. I am hardly the Lincoln expert in this place, but I believe what you're looking at is deterioration of the metal. We shall wait for people who know more than I, though. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/21/2015 6:58 pm It might be a gas bubble under the plating if it collapses under pressure. Or if might be a die dent if it is not able to be collapsed. Not a big thing as a premium though. Report this Post to the Staff
