Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 06/08/2017 6:44 pm I found this one recently it looks cool but there's damage on the revers in the same place, that led me to believe it was a burn hole. I haven't seen a coin like this so I figured I'd see what y'all think. Is it just a burn or something else? Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/09/2017 11:26 am It is not a burn mark or electrical arcing. The reverse bulge clearly shows that it is impact damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 06/09/2017 1:41 pm It could still be metal flow from arcing. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
