I first saw the obverse and was immediately expecting to see a major dent on the reverse. I was surprised when I didn't. Your thoughts.

    It’s not an error and and based on what the coin looks like on both sides, I’d say that there’s solder or something on it – the color is different from the side photos.

    It’s been rode hard and branded.

    I think it is a big mole or maybe he had a big knock on the head. Bet he has a headache. LOL

    PMD. Whatever it is, it happened after it left the mint. There is no way that could
    happen when the the coin was struck.

    Thanks Fred. Not the best but here are a few more pictures. Let me ask you this. Ulysses hair lines are going "up" on the side of this protrusion. Would this add any additional value to your opinion?

    No, I don’t see why it would………….

    I think it's been exposed to high heat, post mint. It's often seen in the CuNi clad.

    Here another one I just found with zero damage on the reverse. I guess it's some type of heat damage.

    I stand corrected – it is a heat treatment, obvious as shown with the other photos of similar pieces
