The reverse has a raised bump along the edge of the shield's lower left side. There is no deformity on the obverse. Did high heat cause this deformity or ? Thanks for the help and your opinions.

Note the flatness on the obverse on the lap area right of the shield. What does the reeds look like? I suspect this is a counterfeit? Reeds look good. It weighs 6.19g. New it would have weighed approximately 6.25g. The area you're questioning doesn't line up with the raised section. Using calipers this location is the lower part of her center chest. The raised portion on the obverse runs about a 45 degree angle. The minor flat area on the obverse looks to be a straight vertical top to bottom. I doubt it's a counterfeit.

I've seen this type of bubble on silver coins before, not sure what it exactly is. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?
