I would have thought die break, but I've never seen edges like that. Cool.

I know, almost looks like someone drove a small chisel into the die... weird...

I don't know... One heck of a die gouge maybe? Certainly doesn't look like any lamination error I have ever seen.

I think it's actually silver solder. I have a Ned Indies 1/4G with a big blob of solder on it (5x2mm and taller than the relief of the coin) and I can imagine it looking like that when it gets worn down.

Interesting find, maybe an air bubble / blister that has worn down ? (  poke it with a stick) |
