I was hoping I found one with an occluded gas bubble but the more posts I've read I think it's just heat damage? Opinions? :) * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21597 Posts	Posted 07/21/2022 09:48 am An occulated gas bubble only appears on coins that are solid metal such as a pre 1982 cent that is solid copper. As the dime is clad it is caused by heat damage so you are right in your assessment. Report this Post to the Staff
