Good evening all, I have a 1994 LMC that has a raised area on the reverse side. I'm curious if this is caused by a die dent or is it a type of die chip. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Possibly a plating bubble.

I'm leaning toward a die dent. An in-hand evaluation would be useful.

It could be either of the above but is so small that does it really matter.
If you increase the size of a coin that much, you will find all sorts of minor anomolies.

when you are trying to learn about the hobby I think all questions help. I saw this before zooming in as far as I did in the first 2 photos. Just trying to further my knowledge by researching the scenario and then asking this forum questions if I feel I hadnt found the answer through searching the web but maybe I'm going about it all wrong? Thanks for the input everyone and have a good monday!

Someone once suggested to me to push a similar anomaly with a toothpick. If it gives, you definitely know it was a bubble (in my case, it did give!).

I agree. It's a plating bubble.

Thank you Snailking1 that was a suggestion I saw when researching but did not have one to use at the time. I will do the tooth pick test when I get home from work and update this thread with the results.

The verdict is In. It is a plating blister. After pressing on it the bubble colapsed.

Thanks for everybodys input!
