1986 cent. Not a dropped letter doesn't match any design elements. Raised but not a gas bubble. If it's die damage someone must have seen another, I'm out of ideas.

Could be a die chip.

It might have been a big gas bubble then it got smashed leaving the raised outline.

On the die this would seem to correspond to a deep die dent with a high, circular pressure ridge around it. Evidently the damage occurred while the die was in a softened (annealed) state.

Shift change, word wasn't passed on, as to what phase, result, new shift tested the die, and found it annealed, ready for the next step. Like the FE/IHC MPD tests.

Dick, could be a die chip but it would be the oddest one I've ever seen.....too smooth and well formed.
Ed, not a gas bubble although it has somewhat the appearance of a collapsed bubble. Tested it with a thorn and it is quite solid.
Mike, my thoughts were a die dent of some sort but my purpose for leaving this post here was that if this is the case there has to be many more of these in circulation. I expected someone to come back with "I have a jar full of these". It is something I believe a copper coin enthusiast would set aside as an item of interest.
Dick, MPD test? I don't comprehend, could you elucidate?
Thanks,
David

David, I will expound, with pleasure! MPD, is the achrononim for Misplaced Digits. Usually found in the denticles, but there are a few that have been found in the neck. These are most commonly referred to in the FE/IHC special varieties.. They are as in the wheat/memorial cents, the RPM's. In the IHC, they are sometimes referred to as over dates, but, RPD, or MPD is the most common. Hope this helps,
Dick

Thanks, Dick. Now that you spell it out I am familiar with misplaced dates. Everyone uses initialization and computer speak anymore and sometimes I get overwhelmed and just can't figure them out...........David
