Hard to tell but either bubble or die chip . Looks like a bubble to me but pictures have to be better for me to tell. I'm trying to see if it is the same height as the devices and I'm t ring to see if it's jagged and I'm trying to see if it is connected to device or seperate. I can't be 100% with these photos. Maybe someone else will

There ya go see . A seasoned numismatist can just tell you what it is. US newbies have to really get in there and use deductive reasoning cause we havnt seen a bunch of examples yet . Happy hunting

It would probably flatten if pressed downwards with a toothpick.

First picture looks like a die chip. At least all I've seen over the years.
But, second picture is lighter in color.

The first image clearly shows the gentle rounding of gas bubbling. The second image throws the issue a little into doubt, as the light makes the facing edge seem slightly jagged. Not impossible for a gas bubble either, but a better argument for a die chip.
Until you start pointing out a bunch of them on the same coin, as your newest image does. That tilts the argument wholly in favor of gas bubbling, as it's really unlikely that a die will chip in that many places at once.
The font is in the Optima family; I put it that way because type houses copyright their fonts strictly, and everybody then clones them with slight alterations yet the same look.

Are plating blisters the same as trapped gas?.I was thinking if the mark in question is hard could it be some kind of debris that got on the blank before or during the copper plating process? John1
