I am finding tons of things/errors with this coin and just found this micro '78' between the 9 and the C. Here is the link to the updated thread https://goccf.com/t/84625 Dunno if the mint did this but its the first I have seen.

this was scanned at about 7200dpi, contrast and brightness etc all untouched...

I've seen things like that before, I always figured they were lot identification of some type but I honestly never cared to look into it. Maybe someone with more knowledge on this can give us the details ... here, I pulled a 1975 out of the box... there's obviously something there.

Thanks UGLY! That's what I was thinking some sort of ID thing. It only showed up when I rotated the coin 180 degs so Queens bust upside-down.

Did you give it a lick to make it show better?
---It looks like droplets of water, hanging on the 9!
