    @Jackflash Cents were not plated in 1953, so not a plating blister. In 1982 the mint changed cents to a zinc core with a micro thin plating of copper. Sometimes the washing and preparing of the zinc cores was insufficient leading to the plating not adhering properly. This caused air and gas bubbles to form between the two layers, commonly known as blisters.

    Place your tablet on a soup can, small box etc. Place your coin on a bottle cap on a benign surface, such as grey or black. Light the coin from 10 and 2 o'clock, not too bright. Raise the subject on something until it fills the screen without blurring. Set the camera timer for 2 seconds to avoid any camera shake. Experiment with the lighting and distance until you get the result you want.

    You posted the wrong photos and this is not the RPM you were asking about.
    What year is this coin with the problem on the T?
