    Looks like plating bubbles across the whole thing.

    Do you see the big one in between the 1 and 6,it's Huge.I've seen small one but not that big. Would it pop if I touched it?

    I think these kinds of coins are really cool,stuff like this should never leave the mint IMO.

    Yeah I see it. You can take a toothpick and poke a hole in it probably.

    Eh, it's up to you. It's your coin :) I wouldn't say it's worth anything more than 1 cent so you won't be out any money if you do. I have a few that have pretty large bubbles in them that I kept just for curiousity's sake.

    I think I'll keep it for the same reason.
    But the next one I find I'm taking a needle to,just to see it.thank you for your time. I'm trying very hard to understand all this and I know it will take alot of time. All I know to do is keep looking and asking. Being new I have put together some stuff and I plan a trip to a shop so i can ask some questions to see if I'm on the right track.
