uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 05/29/2017 07:34 am I found it yesterday, could it be extreme heat only in that area or a defect on the metal? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/29/2017 07:38 am If it was heat,I would think it would have left a "burnt" area? Could it be some kind of a clear glue? John1 Edited by John1 05/29/2017 07:39 am Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 05/29/2017 09:42 am Occluded gas bubble? Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/29/2017 11:44 am Note sure what it is? But here is a link on the occluded gas bubbles on planchets. (wheat area examples on solid copper planchets) http://www.error-ref.com/gas-bubbles/ But not sure if it is this or not. If it were damage to the coin, then the expected area would be above the date area on this over lay of the reverse: But I don't see anything going on with the reverse on this coin. So I would keep it safe for now until we figure this one out. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/30/2017 04:49 am Do we need Mikes input on this one? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/30/2017 2:08 pm That might help. He probably could tell it is what it is from the image provided. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 05/30/2017 2:47 pm My best guess is that it's an occluded gas bubble. The depression in the middle of it suggests that it's hollow. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
