jst1dreamr Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 08/23/2018 09:19 am to CCF Looks like a gas bubble. This link shows it on LMC's but the pics are very good reference. This can happen during strike or PMD from a fire. http://www.error-ref.com/gas-bubbles/ Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34458 Posts	Posted 08/23/2018 10:17 am @aviate, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree that your coin was most likely heated and this caused the flan deformation. In the absence of solid evidence of this occuring at the mint (such as it being pulled from a mint-sealed bag), I would feel pretty comfortable calling this damage which does not add to the value of the coin.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/23/2018 12:37 pm If the weight is normal it was heated and the bubble flattened. If the weight is above normal, then something is on the coin. Either way, the coin is altered and not a collectable. Report this Post to the Staff
