I do not think that it left the mint looking like that.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Heat damage. PSD. No errors. Errers and Varietys.

Agree, the coin didn't leave the striking chamber in that condition. If coins could talk...

to the CCF!  When clad coins are exposed to fire or high heat, the clad layer can soften and separate from the copper core. The slightly molten metal can bubble up. When the coin cools, the bubble can deflate and leave a wavy surface as seen on your coin. It also looks like the surfaces have lots of small pits, which can also be a sign of heat damage. Error coins are out there, but they are rare. I once read that errors account for only 0.00007% of the coins minted. Of the hundreds of error coins I've owned, only a few were found in circulation. Keep searching, but remember, most anomalies you find will be circulation marks or damage. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Dirtyquarter1776, WADR,you need to post better quality photos. The better the photos you post the better we can help you.Also,please properly crop your photos before posting. The dime is heat damaged after it left the mint so it is PMD (post mint damaged),if it happened in the mint, it would be PSD (post strike damage). John1  |

Then where did you find the rest? As E&V said, I purchased them.  Most of the coins came from Dallas Rare Coins purchased one or two (or 20) at a time, over a period of 25 years. I also found them at coin shows and online auctions (Heritage, ebay.) My greatest find ever came from a box of breakfast cereal. You can guess what that one was.
