spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/16/2018 11:18 pm I also think it is damage. If, somehow, the quarter planchet was struck with a smaller blank/planchet causing a raised area on the obverse, the die pressure would have nearly flattened it during striking and the outside perimeter would not have normally struck devices. The die face wouldn't have reached those areas to make an impression. Also, the perimeter of the reverse would be weakly struck as a result. As mentioned, weight is also important. If it weighs normally, then it is damage. Your proposition would mean it must be significantly overweight. I also think, by the appearance, that heat was involved in creating this interesting piece.

Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 01/17/2018 10:43 am Possibly exposed to high heat? I know this will sometimes cause the clad layers to bubble up and separate. It would also explain the mushy, pockmarked appearance of this coin. If you are thinking there is a dime inside of this coin, that would be completely impossible. The clad sheets are produced separately, and then the blanks are punched out of them. There would be no way for a blank to get sandwiched in between layers. The clad sheets are bonded together using extremely high pressure, so anything between them would be flattened as well. Keep looking though, there are lots of real errors and varieties to find, and this is a great place to learn what is worth something, and what is just a damaged coin. Report this Post to the Staff
