How much would this "impossible" be worth?

No, don't waste your money sending this to a third party grader. This did not happen at the mint and appears to be some sort of PMD

If I can get a reasonable explanation for PMD then I'll save my money until then she's going! The whole coin is completely shattered but yet still held in place.

You have gotten 2 explanations for PMD, fire or chemical, but you do you. It's your money.

Sometimes wasting your money turns out to be the best education. I agree with lawest, it'd be a waste of your money.

I cant find a coin that looks like mine anywhere. You guys were positive and asked me to get acetone but now that it looks even more like something crazy, eh throw it away. Fires melt coins. Chemicals eat chunks. This coin looks like a bomb went off on the inside

The cracks are definitely on the coin itself under the coating, just trying to think what would cause a coin to crack and split apart like lightning everywhere.


I see the new photos. It is just a damage coin from the environment. The crack like is state in the quote are not under is surface. Thinking what cause this ?: The environment.

This coin has nothing to do with the coins errors, mint process. This it is a damage coin.

I may only be Canadian eh butt, yeah... I looked at both pre and post acetone... I think you ruined the coin with the acetone bath. It had a "look" that is now gone.

I understand you were looking for... "that" coin... butt, to me the eye appeal was in the first photos... it was artistic when you look at it from that perspective.

It may only be me butt, not only do I seek unc but the neatoly imperfect like my grammar, punctuation and spelling
