blob of metal sitting inside and on top of the interior circle of the top of the 9 closest to Lincoln's bust.
Kinda of neat, I suspect that it arose from a chipped die or gouged die, resulting in metal flowing into the chip or gouge in the die during striking, thus giving a raised blob of metal on the coin. Nothing major, but for one who looks through pocket change, it is always a treat to find a coin that is "outside of the norm".
This coin is now in a plastic flip, soon to take up residence with other error coins that I have come across and accumulated over the years.
