  • I think it's just a bubble in the plating, not a die gauge.

    How can you tell the difference between a gouge and a bubble?

    The spacing between the G and the O is a bit more than the spacing between the O and the D.

    Edited to add:
    Anyone else aware of this?

    Never knew that before.

    Sometimes you can push on it with something and it will flatten it. Only try on a cent that will be spent. image

    Good call! I pushed on it with another cent. Popped like a zit on a teenage boy's face (no disrespect to the male YN's on this forum).
