FsdWarp10 Pillar of the Community United States 676 Posts	Posted 07/13/2025 10:33 am Gave it an acetone bath but it did not come off. As they appear to be very similar I like the idea of die dents probably caused by the same thing. Report this Post to the Staff

ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2520 Posts	Posted 07/13/2025 1:30 pm I had something similar on a reverse of a nickel several years ago. Several people suggested it was solder. Then I come across an identical match (same date and mintmark). When I showed the pair, somebody said it was a "bleb" (die erosion pit). Report this Post to the Staff

I see 3 marks at regular intervals (the 3rd one is weaker), the non the rim, I see another one that appears incuse and it is in a straight line with the first 3. Collecting since 1972.
