ramjethero Pillar of the Community United States 663 Posts	Posted 02/05/2023 4:11 pm Need the pros to take a look at this one. It has two raised areas on the obverse. One behind Lincoln' back running into the Y in LIBERTY, the other in front on his forehead. No indication of being damaged that could have caused this. No sign of being heated. The planchet is a little thinner above his head and below the bust. It weighs 3.2. Any ideas how this happened is appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8782 Posts	Posted 02/05/2023 4:32 pm There are "occluded gas bubbles" but I would also lean towards heat damage. The heavy weight is odd though. LINK https://www.error-ref.com/gas-bubbles/ -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 02/05/2023 8:09 pm I'm stumped by this one too and would fall back on damage from heat, although normally those are clad coins that seem to bubble in this way. It couldn't have been struck this way though, right?
