Between "TE" in "STATES" there is a raised bump. Does this look like some sort of Cud or lamination error? It has some of the minting details (rim, maybe the top of the T), so it doesn't seem like a Cud. Ideas? I'll try to photograph later. Report this Post to the Staff

specksynder Pillar of the Community United States 1080 Posts	Posted 01/08/2011 4:35 pm okay - better pics notice how it dips into the edge ...and if someone does have an opinion on what it is, the obvious follow-up question is: does it affect the value?
