Some of these bubbles may be depressable with the tip of a wooden toothpick.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97062 Posts	Posted 04/04/2022 10:59 am yep plating issue all over that coin - possibly a broken post on the 8 - see if it can be depressed with a toothpick.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/04/2022 12:00 pm The dust makes the surface look like goosebumps. Also it could have a broken post on the upper loop on the '8'. Just a die event though. The knowledge is worth more than an any premium for the broken post issue. Report this Post to the Staff
