That's interesting... not sure either. I want to say that it could be a blister plating issue. But I'm not sure cause that looks pretty radical. Maybe even plantchet damage
It looks to be raised on the field suface. Did you poke it with a toothpick to see if it is a plating blister? Could it be from a Damage Die from a previous strike through?
I haven't touched it with anything. There are listed varieties of this year and mint with partial extra columns. I'm getting a toothpick.
Why would a column be way out there? If it's raised, it's a mint error of some kind. I want to say it's a plating bubble, but if that's what it is, it's the straightest one I think I've ever seen.
Oh my goodness. There must have been an earthquake at the Mint, that whole building is shaken off its foundation, I never seen one like that!
