Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 11/05/2017 3:43 pm Not a proof, all proofs are S mints. Those bumps are zinc rot. Your pix actually captured it well although a bit blurry. Note the disturbed area surrounding the "bump" under date. There's a growing colony is rot under there. It seems same w/ NE lump also, if its a bump, otherwise is an old "milkspot" from the crappy mint rinse. You're not even getting "the finger" on that one! That's the DDR BTW!

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 11/05/2017 4:52 pm @jelly, I agree with the others that your coin is a regular business strike. I think that you should be able to tell zinc rot from a die chip by pressing with a toothpick. The zinc rot bubbles should be mostly hollow and powdery. This a good coin for learning.
