Ok, I've seen that ridge in front of the eye before on some of mine. I chalked it up to a plating bubble. Let's see what the error experts say!

Kirt, I think you're right. But interesting though.

Dumb question on plating bubbling - is there air under the lifted plating or does the zinc actually corrode and bubble?  Mostly wondering if one could take a toothpick or similar non-marring widget and poke at the supposed bubble to determine what it actually is?

And a second thought on this one - keep it, tag it and keep an eye out for similar.  If it's a die-related thing, the features will be identical.  If it's bubbling, they'll look different (I'm assuming anyway)...
