Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 09/02/2015 5:57 pm It's a plating bubble and not very collectable but someone may want it as an oddity due to size and placement Report this Post to the Staff

DmanofLV Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 09/02/2015 7:52 pm So the bayonetis a plating bubble caused by gas? Report this Post to the Staff

DmanofLV Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 09/02/2015 9:41 pm I took a risk and tried the smooth end of a plastic pen and applied heavy pressure on the coin. It is not a hollow bubble as it did not flatten. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 09/03/2015 8:39 pm I don't know that all gas bubbles cause a lack of structural integrity allowing them to collapse under light pressure. Don't think of it as a thin-shelled bubble filled with air but more like an expanding yeasty dough. There's air inside but there is still structure to it -- at least for awhile. You've got some good pics here so maybe you could put this coin away for a few more years and make a comparison. The bubble may not grow but it may weaken over time.... maybe. Maybe storing in a nice safe place will allow it to forever remain as it is. If it's not a gas bubble I have no idea what it is. Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
