truman1404 Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 06/22/2018 12:13 pm Anyone seen something like this? To me it looks too defined to be die damage, and It's not a bubble which was my first thought. Just trying to learn whats going on here. Thanks, Mitch Report this Post to the Staff

truman1404 Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 06/22/2018 2:48 pm I looked up Linear Planchet Bubble and maybe that's it, not sure but maybe. Here's an angled pic of the ear, maybe it will help. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 06/22/2018 3:07 pm simple way to tell is to lightly poke (not jab so you don't damage it) it with a tooth pick. You'll be able to tell if it is firm, if not it will probabaly pop immediately. Report this Post to the Staff

truman1404 Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 06/22/2018 3:53 pm Its firm. They aren't "air bubbles" that can be moved or deflated. Report this Post to the Staff
Coppergold Pillar of the Community United States 939 Posts	Posted 06/22/2018 5:55 pm Just because it doesn't give doesn't mean it's not bubble plating. Bubble plating could be hard, flimsy, and even open with metal coming out like a volcano. Report this Post to the Staff
