i am having some difficulty getting adequate images, but I thought I would try posting - with what I have so far. if these are not sufficient I will try again - later.

this is a 2004P - with what I believe is the very beguning stage of a "BIE" forming. there is an almost "J" shaped crack forming between the bottom of the B and E. I looked at cuds-on-coins for a matching coin listed. there is only one BIE for this year, and it is not a match.

hopefully the images are clear - but I can try for better pictures, when time permits.

Think that's more a plating bubble beginning to form due to the overlap and pressure of a diseased coin

Kind hard to tell because of the glare but am going to agree w/ Crazyb0 on the plating issue. Also looks like a stain there making it more pronounced.

Just a Plating Issue. I don't see any Die Chips on your coin. Also there's a stain.

I'm with staining - and possibly some zinc rot from the staining.
