Yes, Forrest, run. They meet the strict definition of "error," if not "Mint error," but the implication of added value or rarity is vastly overexaggerated. Report this Post to the Staff

Good advice ^ I have a friend that lost his home in a fire, he had a quarter with the width of a dime puffed up on both sides, defintely from a fire. There were also other coins that had melted into a puddle like mixture some still had their designs showing, kind of cool, I tried to buy it from him, to no avail. The coins were in a glass mason jar that had aslo melted into the mix, would've made for a cool paper weight, but as a collectible - nope! "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2737 Posts	Posted 07/16/2013 08:25 am I never saw the coin before, and I would never have declared this a genuine error. The seller is either mistaken or lying. As the other folks have said, it's heat damage. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/16/2013 10:48 am An occluded gas bubble simply means a bubble trapped inside the coin. The thing is those bubbles do not become visible until the coin is subjected to high heat softening the metal to the point that the expansion of the gas bubble can form a lump on the coin.
