ccobb Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 8:29 pm What would cause this large raised area? It is not incuse on the opposite side as one would expect damage to be but rather it is raised on both sides. I find it amusing that someone put a little face on it! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 9:13 pm @ccobb, I think that you know this is damage. In the past, we have generally attributed these bumps to localized overheating of the coin, but it is anyone's guess as to the cause.
