 , Sjguse! I'm thinking a bad acid trip - can you provide the weight of your coin? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

To CCF! Looks like heat or acid damage. Either way, it's just damage. PMD. Errers and Varietys.

to the CCF Whatever the cause, it did not leave the mint looking like this. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

to the CCF Not heat or acid. This coin was whizzed with a wire wheel in a dermal tool. |

All I can say is I had a couple old wheat cents removed from a fire pit long ago which looked very, very close to the coin photographed.

Heat in a fire would have affected the whole coin.

Depends on the position of the coin relative to the heat source, and proximity to that source is a variable as well.. I've seen the gamut--full coin, partial coin, one side impacted more than another, etc. I've even seen acid exposure produce something similar (similar, not exact)--did it my self a few times a while back.

to CCF. Maybe a wire wheel and a drill help out here a bit.. |

I've heard of heat and whizzing with a wire wheel causing damage similar to this.
They definitely grabbed my attention when I came across them initially.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Sounds like there are many opinions on this damage, which is interesting. As far as heat on just a portion of if, have you ever had a sunburn only on one side of your face because the other side was away from the sun?
