1973 Kennedy looking like Colonel Kurtz from "Apocolypse Now"

error-ref. says this is usually caused by excess heat after minting. large raised bubbles from internal gases on both sides. hope this is a lam defect. will show it to my LCS today and contact MDia1 for his opinion. a little Pro-active & Jack will maybe heal surface color is not normal but no evidence of direct heat, maybe intense fire heat
