spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/02/2018 01:57 am The most likely answer is it's a plating bubble from debris being trapped between the zinc core and copper plating and releasing gas. Next would be a die chip, but it would be in a very unusual orientation/location for that.

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 12/02/2018 07:41 am @Jp713, first welcome to CCF. Second, can you depress this "extra line" with a wooden toothpick? If so, then it definitely is a plating bubble.

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4594 Posts	Posted 12/02/2018 09:54 am Whether it's a plating bubble (most likely) or a die chip/gouge, it won't be worth anything above face. Thus Spence's suggestion to poke it with a toothpick is ok. NORMALLY, with coins that have ANY collector value, we strongly discourage messing with coins (including cleaning). -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
