asimpson91 Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 12:24 pm Yeah I figured it went through a fire or severely burned. Report this Post to the Staff
allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 12:27 pm There are five bids on it. Sad. I bet someone's house burnt down and they later found that in the rubble. Report this Post to the Staff
wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 12:32 pm And it looks like there is rust in the middle of it. Very strange piece indeed. Definitely a home job. I have silver coins that went through a fire and they aren't anywhere near what that one looks like. My coins are burnt beyond recognition, with barely any detail on them. That one has great details on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
KisNap Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 3:23 pm I'd imagine the clad coin would melt and blister faster than a silver coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 8:18 pm Acetylene torch was used to extract the copper core. the obverse clad layer looks to have been pulled back with pliers. Just my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

FlipOfACoin Valued Member 474 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 6:52 pm Quote: Tim Stroud: Acetylene torch was used The torch was my first inclination as well... I didn't think about the copper core, I just thought they were heating the coin enough to peel back the clad layer. If the seller is the creator, they have found themselves an interesting way to make a few extra dollars... as long as they don't continue to post similar coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 7:25 pm Wow, and someone actually spent 12 bucks on that thing. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 10:23 pm Yeah--go figure! It's not even worth .25 No doubt, the seller will fire up his torch again. Report this Post to the Staff
