I found this coin in bank box, I'm wondering if anyone can officially name what error this is. I think it is a die dent, and hope it is an actual error type. Thanks in advance for your wisdom!

Tenhulz Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 05/23/2015 1:38 pm Thanks Rackster, Ive seen gas bubbling which are a bunch of little bumps or dots, I've never seen gas bubbling in a straight line, yet. Report this Post to the Staff
