Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 04/15/2021 8:41 pm @rip, first welcome to CCF. Second, while that "rippled" surface texture is pretty cool, I suspect damage rather than a mint error. Maybe excessive heat?

1847bill Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 04/15/2021 8:50 pm We see coins like this all the time. There isn't any minting process that could create this. It only leaves damage after minting as the answer. No one day precisely what caused it. It does look to be be damaged by acid but that is only a guess. There are some great websites on errors. I highly recommend researching them to learn more about the subject. I learn something new every time I go there. Report this Post to the Staff
