Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74706 Posts	Posted 08/30/2018 10:49 pm Thank you very much for the better picture! I'm thinking that it could be a Struck Through issue, maybe from a shaved off rim burr? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/31/2018 03:13 am Try pressing it down with a toothpick. If it gives, then it is a gas bubble. If it is firm, the it is die dents or gouges. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 08/31/2018 08:13 am If the two defects are sunken (as they appear to be), then these are struck-through errors. If they are raised, as the OP claims, then they're most likely bits of dried glue. Error coin writer and researcher. Edited by mikediamond 08/31/2018 08:15 am Report this Post to the Staff
