Rollhunta Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 11/24/2018 3:39 pm I just posted a 1980 penny I found and the very next coin had this interesting feature to offer. I'm assuming this will be called a Cud, but am looking for more opinions. Thanks C.C. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 11/24/2018 3:56 pm @RH, definitely not a Cud, but interesting nonetheless. Is this a copper or a copper-plated zinc cent (you can tell by the weight)? If plated, then it might be a bubble in the copper plating, but that one is pretty near perfectly shaped and positioned.

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 11/24/2018 4:12 pm Ok good to know. Can you depress it at all with a wooden toothpick?

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 11/24/2018 4:38 pm Ok awesome. How about an after pic of that same area? Maybe @coop will add your images to his primer on plating bubbles.
