SAE sun bump

I recently read in CW about a bump on the sun on the '03 SAE. I don't have
a bump on the two I have. Does anyone have da' bump?

Ed

Well, you made me look, lol! The sun on my PR68 from PCGS is smooth as a
baby's behind, no bump. I think I feel deprived.

The PCGS Collectors Club Edition that I got (MS68) has the bump,

not as obvious as the pictures shown in Collector's Clearinghouse, July

edition.

oh ya, I think this is for the bullion coins only, not the proof SAE.

The CW item mentioned that the Proof had a similar, though fainter,
bump, IIRC.

You made me look, and yes, it appears I have the bump on my 2003 SAE. Here, I
took a pictu

Woah, what's that in the upper right of the picture? ...looking at the actual
coin... There are two parallel scratches right there in the lines of the
dress. They don't look as bad as the picture made them, but they are there.
Never noticed them before :-( The hazards of taking LARGE closeup digital
images of your coins I guess! The thing looked flawless when I bought it. Not
a mark in any fields on either side. Guess I need to start bringing my loupe
to the coin store!

Well, call me stupid, I don't see the bump. Where is it?

I think I do.
It's more a "wave" than a bump, though...

When we're speaking "bump," do you mean a raised surface in the sun part or
something in the design area of the coin itself?

My two SAEs have the bump! Wow, this never happens to me. I always
get the "common" stuff.

Hey, maybe the non-bump sun is the rarity, in which case, I have the
common stuff. Again. sigh

I'm with Linda on the "Well, call me stupid, I don't see the bump." I don't
see it on your pic, but the CW article bump looked huge.

Ed

I bought 6 Proof SAEs and I only have one with a circular bump to the
left of the sun, I never noticed that before it was mentioned in this
thread. I have another proof SAE that has a ripple that covers the
entire smooth front surface of the coin, I noticed it the minute I
looked at it for the first time. The other 4 SAEs are normal.

Both of my 1997 SAEs have this bump as well. Never noticed it before.

Yes, a raised area in the upper left-hand part (quadrant?) of the sun.
