*** Edited by Staff to Add Denomination to Title. It's essential to have it in the title. ***...I thought I would post it here to get more sets of eyes on it. The reverse shows two raised lines, each emanating from the upper left and right corners of the Memorial building and extending to the rim. They have the appearance of being regular old plating bubbles, but their placement is of interest. Even though the lettering looks doubled, it's just the effect from the lighting angle necessary to bring up the lines in question. Any thoughts?

Looks like Die Cracks the corners of the Memorial are known weak spots for the cracks to form but more experienced people will be able to help

@cas, yes I agree that those are die cracks. As noted by @sna, those sharp corners are areas of high stress and tend to form cracks first. Sorta like this:  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Thanks!
I was actually hoping it would be die cracks, but I wanted opinions from more knowledgeable collectors before I ventured to declare them as such.
I think I will hold on to this coin...

Yep, you nailed it...American Optical.
I acquired this instrument back in the 1990s while working in the AV repair shop at a large school district.
They dismantled their biology labs and threw out a lot of equipment.
This scope switches between 25x and 50x - perfect for examining coins & stamps, repairing jewelry, and picking splinters out of one's fingers!#128526;
