aristarchus123 Pillar of the Community United States 1695 Posts	Posted 06/20/2016 4:59 pm I am trying to figure out what is wrong with this coin, particularly around the upper left quadrant on the obverse and on the reverse (especially around the "We Trust" and the "E Pluribus". VLDS? Report this Post to the Staff

MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 06/20/2016 6:13 pm I think it is a VLDS Jefferson. I posted a Jefferson recently with similar marks. I think this might help ya out a little. https://goccf.com/t/263115 Edited by MontCollector 06/20/2016 6:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/20/2016 9:45 pm It may have been heated by a blow torch. They have to get pretty hot to alter them, but if the coin destroyer is trying to alter it, it can be done. Report this Post to the Staff
MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 06/20/2016 10:42 pm Wouldn't heating coin up to alter obverse cause some sort of heat marks on reverse as well? Like a slight rainbow effect from the heat. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/21/2016 01:59 am I would think so. Note the obverse/reverse? It looks a little copper colored in certain areas just away from the areas in question. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2740 Posts	Posted 06/21/2016 3:53 pm As Coop indicated, both the lead-off coin and the 1944 cent were altered outside the Mint. The cause of the "rippling" is unclear, but it's not an effect that can be tied to the minting process. Error coin writer and researcher.
