With regard to the "wrinkle" below the desogner's initials, is is most likely a small plating bubble. I guess that it could instead be a small die scratch. Either way, I don't see much extra numismatic value for your coin.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/16/2018 11:29 pm I agree with Spence. It is either a small plating bubble or a small die gouge, maybe from a feeder finger. If a die gouge, it's a neat find with no real added value. If a bubble, it is common, not neat and worth face value.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/17/2018 02:43 am to the funny farm! It just may be a die clash if not a plating bubble. The T or S of STATES rides/right under coat and VDB http://www.maddieclashes.com/wp-con...wWHITEmd.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/17/2018 03:51 am That's a possibility for sure. I didn't even think of a clash, but that's probably because there are no signs of a clash elsewhere. It's really isolated. It does resemble the top of the T, but that's hardly conclusive.
