Found this 1985 penny that appears to have air bubble damage and possibly at the nose area then looks like some one tried to fix it . I'm think it popped and they tried smoothing it out or something.looks spackled lol.
you are correct about damage and bubbles and LOL at spackled in a way it does look like a bad attempt to spackle the holes. Keep looking
Yes it does look strange. Could be the copper plating that just became mishaped in that spot.. Thanks for sharing.
It has environmental surface issues - it's been cleaned, for one, and it's had some hits/digs, etc. on the coin. Not an error, I'm sorry to say.
