    It might be a small bubble in the copper plating which is not unusual for cents after 1982 when the mint went to copper plated zinc planchets.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    I agree with @PerryHall ... Or, it also could be a die chip.... common issue - in either case, no numismatic premium. Cheers, RickO

    Or maybe that’s the version we make for the European markets?
