I have never seen this before so I believe it to be a very rare mint error. Has anyone else ever seen this before? What causes it? Thanks for your help everyone! Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 07/11/2018 12:32 pm Its been exposed to heat, probably a torch or soldering iron. since copper has a lower melting point than nickel, it melted within the clad layer, and the weakened nickel "gave way" and warped. At least thats the most likely way for me to see that happenening. Either way, It is PMD. Edited by Adam_E 07/11/2018 12:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 07/11/2018 5:50 pm Clad coins with trapped gas subjected to a heat source (after strike) can expand the clad layers and exhibit bubble formations. Did this one split the edge apart? Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
