coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/09/2018 5:30 pm Heated with a torch. A struck through error is affected only on one side of the coin. You coin was altered. It had a short life being normal. Edited by coop 12/09/2018 5:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 12/09/2018 5:30 pm My initial thought is some type of mint error. Don't know but it looks interesting. Planchet error? Struck through something? If it is a legitimate mint error, even with the spots on the rev. it looks mint state. Others will know... (Edit) coop- I also see doubling around the head, back and front of the face. Can a torch do that? Edited by USSID18 12/09/2018 5:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jairo alveno Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 12/09/2018 6:46 pm Well, that's why I'm asking because I'm thinking an error and I think I'm damage... but thanks for your valuable comments ... Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/10/2018 08:59 am Keep in mind with high temperatures, the metal is a bit molten. The torch creates waves from the blast of the torch. Not a small torch. But an larger one. Report this Post to the Staff

USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 12/16/2018 12:24 pm Forget it! All it did was change the color. Plus I wasted 10 minutes on my tank. It probably wasn't hot enough. Report this Post to the Staff
