jackson12345 Valued Member Canada 71 Posts	Posted 11/12/2025 11:37 pm Is there such a variant or error as this 1985S with a large blob (dot?) just above 85? Photos taken through the plastic of the holder. An otherwise prestine coin, what effect does this have on value? Could be one of a kind. This forum has been great for answering my previous questions - thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
