<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Avery G., post: 4137148, member: 102096&quot;]I thought it was strange that the defect didn&#039;t affect the rim. These are not stains. It&#039;s a lot of tiny chips out of the surface.&nbsp; </p><p>The surface of a worn die will sometimes become pitted, possibly as a result of decarburization of the die steel. These pits are expressed on the coin as low, flat elevations with relatively soft, irregular margins. Blebs are usually surrounded by obvious signs of die wear, such as radial flow lines or an orange peel texture. Blebs are usually found in the field(coin world). The phrase&quot;usually found in the field, meaning not limited too, had me thinking it could be blebs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
