Xxavier Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 01:05 am what other signs can I look for to know if its heat damage Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 06:35 am I agree. It looks like it circulated for a while after the damage. Heat caused the bubble and it has since collapsed. Report this Post to the Staff

Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 10:44 am When clad coins are exposed to high heat (house fire or blowtorch) a gas bubble can form between the clad layers. You can't pop it like a gas bubble on a zinc plated cent because the clad layer is too thick, unlike the nearly microscopically thin layer on a cent. The other darkish spots on the coin would suggest that this coin has seen some very high heat. Dave Report this Post to the Staff
