<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 2220981, member: 1765"]Those lumps are probably occluded gas. If you poke them with a stick, they'll give. It's a planchet issue and not something that can be used as a diagnostic for a real/fake coin. They can also be caused/exacerbated by application of heat, although any discoloration that would have resulted seems to have been cleaned away. You may have jumped the gun returning it, but if you really didn't like the coin, you did the right thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
