Just putting a 1982 mint set into 2x2s and noticed this odd line of what looks like small bubbles near the "I" in Elizabeth. It definitely is not a scratch or other damaged as the line is raised above the surrounding metal. Thoughts?
This 1982 50c coin which sold on The Purple Penny appears to have a similar flaw which was described as a 'sub-surface planchet flaw that has shown itself as planchet bubbles'. https://www.thepurplepenny.com/prod...bbles-error/
Thanks for the replies. Wasn't sure if it was a planchet flaw. Not as spectacular as the one in Coaster's post but I am happy to have it in my collection. Happy hunting everyone.
