Red Man Valued Member United States 91 Posts	Posted 07/08/2016 02:17 am Yes sorry ive been roll hunting all night and eyes are blurry and drafting more post. But yes its a 1992 LMC I just thought it looked cool, didnt know if it xould be a error. I found a 1955 "BIE" coin I'm about to post and mixed the names. 2 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/08/2016 12:51 pm See the dark spot in the center of the dot? That is where the plating was pierced. Then air got to the zinc and made it raise. On a bas bubble on a coin, there is not hole through the plating. They can happen on top of devices and on the fields. They follow no rules.
