coinguy84 Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 12/22/2019 05:17 am It is actually not raised at all. It is Inside of the coin and flat.... very strange Report this Post to the Staff

Kingz Pillar of the Community Netherlands 626 Posts	Posted 12/22/2019 5:40 pm I saw similair eurocents, I have a few curious myself but not that extreme. This one I found online though, in German it is called "pickel". Report this Post to the Staff
coinguy84 Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 12/22/2019 5:54 pm Awesome. I'll look into it.thank you Report this Post to the Staff
coinguy84 Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 12/25/2019 3:14 pm It looks like whatever that is called.."pickel" in german happened before the strike maybe? Due to the lines going over it? Report this Post to the Staff
Kingz Pillar of the Community Netherlands 626 Posts	Posted 12/25/2019 4:30 pm It is some kind of an error, but what exactly I don't know. The picture comes from this German source, it's in German but has translation options.. although I can't find an instant explanation unfortunatly about how the error is formed. Translated it's like a pimpel: http://www.sammler.com/mz/euro_abar...rd_cents.htm I'll post some of mine examples soon, maybe someone here has an explantion with better pictures.

Kingz Pillar of the Community Netherlands 626 Posts	Posted 12/26/2019 07:21 am No problem, I am also looking for the answer.. I have several of them but can't find the pictures of them at the moment, only this 2 Eurocent from France. I will post some later when I find them. It looks to me as if these pickles / pimples can burst open, so maybe it has to do with heat and weak spot or debris in the planchet? These pickles / pimples are not the same as a die-break or another die error (as seen below on the pictures of a Dutch 2 Eurocent. Any input or information on this topic is welcome Report this Post to the Staff
coinguy84 Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 12/26/2019 10:46 am Very nice finds. I wonder if any of these will have a collector's value? Report this Post to the Staff
Kingz Pillar of the Community Netherlands 626 Posts	Posted 12/26/2019 6:33 pm I have it on this coin too, it looks very similair but maybe not the same..? Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5253 Posts	Posted 12/28/2019 9:13 pm Possibly this is similar to what happens with United States copper coated Zinc cents. The Zinc starts to corrode underneath causing the bubbles. The Eurocent is copper over steel. Report this Post to the Staff
