 Photos would be necessary for us to give any real opinion. |

There's just no way to tell what caused the unusual marks on your coin without seeing it. If you're having trouble posting a photo, let us know. Maybe we can help. |

Without pics hard to say ! But if the impressions on your coin are backwards then it is just a vise job. Coins were clamped together and one transferred the image to the other coin but in reverse.

Looks like damaged on the reverse that pushed metal of the coin up on the obverse.

Thinking coin may have been heated and trapped gas expanded between the clad layers. Thanks, Doug. |

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. |
