Is it raised or incuse. Hard to tell from the photo.

Appears to be both: check the "N".  Plus molten fricassee.

Gas trapped between the zinc base and the plating was compressed during striking, leaving raised bubbles.

I wonder if the cent said, “Oops, excuse me.”

If it is plating bubbles as suggested by Mr. Lange you might be able to lightly push down on one and see if the surface is soft (without popping it) if the surface is solid it would seem a strike thru is more likely.  Disclaimer alert!  I have not tried this on a plating bubble so this may be a completely hair brained idea. ;)
