I'm assuming this is a die chip but I have very little experience with error coins! Feel free to share your thoughts, I'd love to hear them. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 01/09/2024 5:21 pm I'd agree; they're "rust bubbles", not a variety or error. These coins are made of plated steel, and like any plated-steel coin they will rust badly if something damages the plating layer. Steel expands when it rusts, which creates a "bubble" underneath the plating. There's another bump underneath the "i" in "Herzegovina", and on that one you can see the rusty-grey metal punching through the copper coating. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
