First time poster, new to the site. Believe I may have found a new error coin this week(at least it's not listed on the Cuds on coins site), but would like to have somebody confirm and see what they think. Included are pictures I took with my microscope.

Thanks!

Phil

More like a linear gas bubble head.

Thanks! I believe you are probably right, after investigating the gas bubbles. Didn't look jagged enough to me for a die crack, but thought it odd how it stretched from the edge through the fields into the hairline and then stopped. Guess that probably answers my question.

The spiked heads are die cracks, not linear plating bubbles.
