mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2742 Posts	Posted 07/13/2008 08:02 am Hard to say for sure. Most likely gas bubbles. But there's a chance it's a die dent. To test, place the coin under a microscope and press on the elevated feature gently with the tip of a toothpick. If it flexes, it's a gas bubble. If it does not flex, then it's probably a die dent.

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 07/13/2008 1:05 pm Thanks to all. Thanks Mike for the info on gas bubbles- My co-worker has a mic- I'll be testing it this week along with my 21 S morgan that I think has "something underneath the S" also- I'll post the results ASAP!

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 07/17/2008 3:40 pm OK- We tested the coin according to the instructions given by Mike D. Nothing flexed- everything was solid- no movement whatsoever. Its a die-dent- not gas bubbles. Thanks MIKE! Report this Post to the Staff
