-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8784 Posts	Posted 07/25/2022 5:15 pm I would think a plating blister but it's odd it does not show on the columns, only in the bays. If it is a plating blister, maybe the column areas were pushed down over time, through circulation and the recessed bays, protecting the rest of the blister. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/25/2022 7:05 pm I feel it is a die scratch issue on your coin. While circulation wear can wear off a die crack, it it did the plating would be gone. So I feel this is not a die crack, but a die scratch on the fields. (yes, the fields are also the bays on the Memorial building) Either way there is no premium for these. Just knowing what it is, is the bonus. Now that you know, you can move on to the next coins in the search. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97224 Posts	Posted 07/25/2022 8:02 pm I'm voting for a die gouge or scratch. this is only on the fields and in the deepest recess of the columns Collecting since 1972.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/25/2022 8:09 pm Die scratch/gouge or linear trail gas bubble. Try depressing it with a toothpick. It may not flatten,but that test is not 100% Also looks like a minor MAD. John1 Edited by John1 07/25/2022 8:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
