Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 63514 Posts	Posted 07/20/2018 10:41 pm To CCF! What you have here is just a damaged coin and not an error. It's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). Someone intentionally damaged this coin. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Jabrwock New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/20/2018 11:06 pm How do you think if may have happened? By running a high current through it? The blobs are underneath the lettering. Maybe somebody put in a fuse box? Report this Post to the Staff

Jabrwock New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/20/2018 11:39 pm Punches couldn't have done that. The lettering and Roosevelt's facial features are intact... Report this Post to the Staff
Jabrwock New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/20/2018 11:40 pm Yes, it is raised on both sides like the coin was swollen from the inside somehow... Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/21/2018 09:15 am Bubbling from heat is my best guess. Report this Post to the Staff
twistedt Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 07/21/2018 09:58 am like moxking said - it could be from some kind of heat , never seen anything like that before. it is some form of PMD - what caused it I have no idea kinda cool looking tho. as an afterthought - what is the weight of the coin? just curious Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/21/2018 11:35 pm You could clamp two washers to a coin with the holes in the same area, then place two flat washers on to of them. Then heat the metal and it would expand to fill those voids. Then let cool and they would be raised on both sides. If this was done, then they could still be flattened later.
