Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 11/14/2021 3:59 pm @rob, it doesn't protrude that far above the coin field. Have you tried to depress it with the tip of a wooden toothpick already? My guess is that it won't depress and you most likely have a die gouge, but I'm not positive on this one.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97162 Posts	Posted 11/14/2021 6:15 pm Looks to uniform to be a zinc bubble or sub surface rot. I'd say that is is a gouge Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/14/2021 7:46 pm It could be part of a die clash that was not removed on that area. (part of Liberty) If a slight rotation of of the obverse die, it may have left this mark? Edited by coop 11/14/2021 7:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
