Welcome aboard!! I tried to open the pic but it said invalid attachment. Maybe one of the others will know what's wrong.

Thank you! I did it in a different way before I read your post... looks like it may be working now

Thank you ... looks like it's working now. I guess I'll get use to doing things some time soon

Welcome to the LCF... I moved your thread to New User Introduction... Nice pic for first post... I zoomed in best I could... I see a bunch of linear plating bubbles... Here is some info from our Glossary -

Blistered Plating (also called plating bubbles): Gas bubbles that form under the copper plating on copper-plated zinc planchets. Gasses or contaminants that get trapped under the plating expand from the resulting heat and pressure during the strike, causing the plating to push up. These bubbles can vary widely in scope and appearance ranging from small scattered bumps to large elongated or “linear” blisters.


If that is not what you are showing is I can try again... My old age Lots of knowledgeable folks here ready to help you out!!!

Sorry but that is not the picture I sent in the URL your showing ... My picture is of a 2009 formative years, reverse, the area is on the log under Abe. The holder, from a bundle of error coins I purchased in 2010 auction for ASPCA (I wasn't a coin collector & I"m now trying to learn), says "over-abraded error coin", but I don't know what that means & if it's actually an error. Thanks for your help

Jim was showing you examples from the glossary here on the LFC. Look at the top of the page and you will see "glossary", click on that and you will see the alphabet. Hit the "B" and scroll down until you see "blistered plating". That is what he was referring too.
