    No, it's a plating issue, which is common with the newer cents.

    It's a plating bubble. A very common problem onnewer Cents. Same as Dwhiz said.

    Welcome to the forum. Better images will get you better answers. So far I agree it's a plating issue.

    Looks like a hole in the plating with zinc rot inside,

    Gator.... unless you are really experienced in these coins and their values, don't bother sending any out to be graded.... it is a waste of your money.

    When you post photos, you have 2 choices-thumbnail and full size, it's best if you use the full size.

    Still think it's a hole in the plating with zinc rot.
     
  14. I found a 1995 D nickel last night that is odd. I've looked all day on line for this variation or error. I have found none. On the reverse side in America the C has a tail that actually crosses the A where it would be crossed. Have u ever seen or heard of this coin?
