That is a gas bubble between the zinc planchet and the copper plating. Every one will be different. That is a pretty big one though. I've had a few bigger in my searches but not many.

 

As stated but it looks more like a thunderbolt from Thor.

 

Wow! Nice Plating Blister!
That's a keeper.. Protect it. Don't burst it.

 

Thanks furryfrog, Good to know I am not the only one with gas bubble problems..
Well, at least the coin's gas bubble problem is in front and not in the rear....Like
mine usually is.....

 

Thanks paddyman.....No, I do not want it to burst.....I hate when they do that...
PpppUuuuu.....

 

All kiddin aside, paddyman makes a good point about not letting the bubble burst..
Any suggestions on how I should store this coin? Without bursting the bubble?

 

Thanks guys for your wisdom and guidence

 

@SmokinJoe the only thing I can think of is Pepto Bismol. It soothes and costs. Wish is could be of serious help, that's a great blister.

 

@Collecting Nut ...Yes on the Pepto Bismol...Very very soothing

 

An airtite or Dansco style album would work. I’ve never seen a blister that big. Cool find.

 

Thanks Seattlite86, I appreciate your advise, I will be getting one of them ASAP
