michaelshane1 New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 07/11/2022 1:58 pm I'm not exactly sure what this is below Liberty. It almost looks like another "I" but is probably a die chip? Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/11/2022 2:19 pm to the CCF! It looks like a linear plating bubble. The copper plating has separated from the zinc core and left this raised area. You may be able to depress the feature with the point of a wooden toothpick. This happens from time to time on zinc core coins. It doesn't add any value to the coin. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

But it is not a die issue/gouge. The location is not an area where this would happen. The weight of the coin could be normal. 2.5 grams Report this Post to the Staff
