CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 01/14/2017 11:02 pm It really looks like a plating bubble. If it doesn't pop with a toothpick, it's probably a chip. Report this Post to the Staff
OldJoeClark Pillar of the Community United States 1260 Posts	Posted 01/14/2017 11:11 pm I pressed around on it with a plastic toothpick and it didn't give. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 01/14/2017 11:13 pm I suppose it could be early zinc rot. Does the plating have a break in it? Report this Post to the Staff
OldJoeClark Pillar of the Community United States 1260 Posts	Posted 01/14/2017 11:20 pm There is discoloration on the raised section but I do not see a split. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 01/14/2017 11:28 pm Then I think it's a chip. Maybe someone else will offer an opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 01/14/2017 11:38 pm It's in area famous for split plating that leads to zinc rot. Maybe the split is hidden by the 4 and the swelling. Plating bubbles are copper-plating stretched by trapped gas underneath. They don't lead to zinc rot unless punctured or "split". Time will tell, but you'll probably have spent it by then. lol Edited by CoinMasters 01/14/2017 11:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/15/2017 04:27 am It is a plating issue. I think it's trapped gas but could also be debris under the platting.Either way,a plating issue. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
