coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/27/2021 4:01 pm It could have been a linear plating bubble that ruptured years ago and created this on your coin? Check to weight to see if it is normal? Where it looks like it peeled, is there gray under those areas? If there is plating under those areas if maybe a stuck through a plating issue?

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2955 Posts	Posted 04/27/2021 6:25 pm It to me almost looks like a combination of what others said about plating bubbling lining up with a potential lamination perhaps. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 04/27/2021 6:45 pm @ken, my favorite method for determining if something is a linear plating bubble is to depress it with the tip of a wooden toothpick. Most of the time, that will flatten them. If not, then it might be debris caught under the plating.

KeenEye New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 06/06/2021 3:45 pm Finally getting around to looking at this coin again. I checked with a toothpick and there is a ridge at the cracks on the right and left side. No changes to the plating with the toothpick. Weight is spot on - 2.5g Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
