Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 7:25 pm This coin appears to have several issues all at one. Several raised spots that are HARD, AND NO ZINC IS SHOWING. Obverse Ghosting behind Lincoln's Bust, and above the Date. Struck Through on Reverse. And issues at the rim on both Obverse and Reverse. Let the discussions begin. Dan Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 76679 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 7:28 pm Plating Bubbles, Struck Through Grease a little bit, and Die Deterioration. All of these are common issues for this date and mint. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 7:56 pm The raised spots are hard. No zinc showing anywhere. Also what about the ghosting. Dan Edited by Panther 02/14/2019 7:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 02/14/2019 9:34 pm Spence, No they do not, and there is no zinc showing. Dan Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34507 Posts	Posted 02/15/2019 06:40 am OK yes interesting. I'm inclined to think that these are not plating bubbles then. That would leave, I think, either material between the zinc core and the copper plating or else a die gouge.
