Prefetch New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 11/30/2018 04:12 am Anyone hazard a guess where this might have come from? Die Clash? Dropped tool by worker near die? Some kind of PMD like a prank or something? I honestly didn't put this there or doctor it up in any way, except to try and sharpen it up a bit with very little success. There may be others (whatever it is...) found and I just could'nt guess the right search term to make it appear from the http://www. Any ideas anyone? "Guesses" however are NOT welcome Heehee! But throw em at me anyway because I got no ideas. TIA Prefetch P.S. This is not a twisted prank to test or trick anyone ok? I really am curious about this, it's not the usual find in the pocket of a mostly philatelist Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 11/30/2018 1:37 pm This appears to be a raised circle with a dimple in the middle. If so, I cannot be a dropped filling. It's most likely a partially collapsed corrosion dome or a partially collapsed plating blister. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

Prefetch New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 12/02/2018 3:33 pm BIG Thank you's to everyone who helped with this. It is so nearly perfectly round outside and in, or I would have thought it was a zinc bubble. I guess I'll just keep watching it to see if it changes. I'll know it's just a zincoln then. I did just find it a week and a half ago, been confusing me since then too because there are very few features on a Lincoln Cent that could have somehow made it--just the rings on the above Memorial, but all of those look more like omegas instead of like porthole windows to the basement ;^) Prefetch Report this Post to the Staff
