I found this in a roll today. The area circled on the pictures is a raised area on the coin and not dirt. It almost looks as if a part of the reverse came through on the obverse, right in the middle of the 9 and 0 in the date.
I need some expert input. Thanks,
My first guesses would be die-break or lamination. I would go with lamination. Does it look like a portion of the copper-plating disconnected from the zinc? Another option would be a die clash, but that seems unlikely.
No, it does not look like anything is disconnected from the zinc. It looks, to the naked eye, and under a jewler's glass, like something that was struck. The scaned image does not get it as well as I wish I could get it.
Don't know what clash mark would be there. However did you try pushing on it to see if it moved as if it were a bubble in the plating? This is a really old post, am I missing something?
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
