    Canada 1982 25 cents. Even though i have been reading up on the minting process, either i havn't got the right research data or i havn't understood some, but what causes this.
    There is a line of what appear to be bubbles across the centre, patches of closely densed bubbles in parts of her hair and side of face which i can't capture clearly on camera. Left of Elizabeth 11 between a and b there is a an indentation, and to the right of her head is a large area indented between her eye and shoulder. 20200322_125824.jpg 20200322_132045.jpg 20200322_132021.jpg

    It's hard to tell. Could be post mint damage or even dried adhesive on the surface.

    Some of it looks like damage but I can't really see the coin in focus.
