Halo1st, that's a great guess! I was thinking the same think. Has been heated and that's why the metal got pushed up.
Errers and Varietys.

If it was heated and gas expanded then why weren't both sides "puffed" up? heated gas expanding does not constitute for the indent.

If not allowed to move outward it will surely try and push back the opposite way. If the opposite way is not giving then I'm thinking let it go when and where it wants. Thanks, Doug. |

My first thought was heat also. Obviously both sides have taken lots of small damage, but the raised area in the center just looks like someone was heating it. I think that you can safely spend this coin.

For the bubble to form there also has to be a gas bubble trapped between the clad layers. No trapped gas, no bubble. The indent is caused by the gas bubble collapsing and the metal still being plastic enough to deform into the lowered pressure area. Could also be the result of the bubble being pressed on while still hot. |

Welcome to the forum Kinglouis.
This was caused by trapped gas or excessive heat being applied to one area of the coin.
