Previously posted in US Modern Coins. * Hey everyone, I have researched the heck out of this coin to see what's going on. Yes, I know...Looks like a laundry coin that fell onto the highway a few times, for sure...but maybe not. Closest I came to an answer, unless you wise gals and gents know otherwise, is wexler's UFO error variety. lol The reverse (in case my camera didn't convey) has raised, not flat, dots...aaahhh what are they called! Any aliens out there that can help? : ) Thanks ahead of time. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/28/2018 01:15 am I'm with you, Dennman. My best guess is that it was exposed to high heat and probably a fire as opposed to a torch. It's not fake and the dots do not resemble die chips, so that's all I got (the surface coloring corroborates the fire hypothesis).

centsitive New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 10/28/2018 2:15 pm Thanks everyone. I looked for "high heat" in the coin forum, based on your replies and found a post "1985 quarter with rare plating issue?" from "CrazyB0" "That is a clad quarter that has been exposed to extreme heat, intentional or not. Heat causes the copper core to melt quicker than the cupronickel coating." Very helpful Report this Post to the Staff
centsitive New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 10/28/2018 2:20 pm oh.. btw did anyone notice the double eye? it doesn't look like the known 43 version but a completely separate ghost eye. The combination of the poor strike and my camera could not capture clearly. Any opinions? Report this Post to the Staff
