CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12816 Posts	Posted 04/18/2015 03:42 am Oh, I see what you're talking about now. Interesting. I still think there could be a grease issue on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 04/18/2015 08:23 am Greaser on the reverse, looks like a possible die crack on his hair, it kind of reminds me of some of the 1955 cents where there are large die cracks on the obverse.. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/18/2015 10:25 am Inconclusive from the images. If there is very much more of a "width" component to the crack, plating separation is in play. Look close. A crack shouldn't have any filleting where crack meets device along its' length, but a bubble by its' nature ought to be filleted. A crack is a sudden, catastrophic event similar to a geologic fault creating a sharp-edged displacement, while a bubble is more a "rolling hill." Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/18/2015 11:44 am I think that is part of the design. I've seen it before. When I did a search for 1992 cents it I noticed it on all of the examples I saw. So it maybe just part of the design that gets weaker with die use. Report this Post to the Staff
