coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/23/2015 10:32 pm It looks like a linear plating bubble. (gas under the plating) This can happen on the fields or on devices. Report this Post to the Staff

Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 08/24/2015 1:37 pm I would have been wrong on this one as my guess would have been a "dropped letter l" from IGWT... I could have stayed quiet, but when your wrong there is no shame to admit it. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/24/2015 1:49 pm On a dropped letter, it would have to be incuse. This could be mirrored or normal shaped depending on how it fell onto the dies. But the main point is that the area in question is larger than all devices on the coin. So it could not be a dropped letter. Also the fact that it is raised and not incuse. Being raised would mean it would have to be a gouge on the die to make it raised. But it is just a gas bubble under the plating. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 08/24/2015 10:26 pm You sound like the beginning of a very successful coin hunter. Yes there are a great bunch of people on here, and yes it's tough to get your bubble burst (so to speak). While that teaches you what you don't want, you're gonna be amazed as you learn what you do want. Happy hunting. Report this Post to the Staff
