Either it is a small drop of dried, clear glue or else a zinc blister where there was first a tiny hole in the copper plating.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 11/12/2022 9:45 pm When examining the adjacent 'U' the shadows are on the opposite of the character., therefore my eye, it looks like the tiny 'o' has been stamped into the coin. That leads to the conclusion that is is a countermark, and so in this case, leads to the further conclusion that the coin has suffered from post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff
dh1929 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/12/2022 11:20 pm That you for the welcome. I have been wanting to post for some time - I am somewhat obsessed with this new interest but the amount of detail and information to understand it all is overwhelming so thank you for your replies. I can not tell if the "o" is raised or incused - I can not tell by touch What about the partial 5 in front of the nose? Report this Post to the Staff
