Benja Valued Member United States 186 Posts	Posted 02/13/2017 8:55 pm It's probably not heat. I've messed with pennies and blowtorches before and when the penny reaches red hot it forms a thick, black, ceramic oxide which flakes off. If it really was melted it would look cleaned to the max, I.E. very pink. Report this Post to the Staff
