realdeal101 Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 1:33 pm Thank You; Sam Coin I will try that with my butane torch and see what happens. It would be interesting or would that be illegal to damage a coin on purpose? Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 2:22 pm @realdeal101 you are likely to get a very different result from a butane torch or a similar clean/controlled flame. This looks like an example of bonfire or house fire damage. Edited by SamCoin 08/31/2021 2:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
realdeal101 Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 3:08 pm I tried the torch and there were no melting at all It was just discolored . I believe if it was a bon fire it would just be a blob of metal because of the no control of the heat. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 3:16 pm @realdeal101 not true, we have lots of known examples of fire damaged coins that this is consistent with. But even if it isn't, what does it really matter? It's not an error, just PMD. Edited by SamCoin 08/31/2021 3:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 4:54 pm More food for thought. To replicate a raised bubble using heat, the coin in question that's being heated has to have gas trapped between the clad layers. I'm thinking most do not. Thanks, Doug.

realdeal101 Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 5:45 pm Thanks for you input Halo 1st and Dearborn; I'm not sure what a proboscis is ? I'm guessing its a schnozz as Jimmy Durante would say. Edited by realdeal101 08/31/2021 6:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 6:21 pm House fire coins show the swelling a lot more: Not on your image that some areas the bubble has been partly flattened. Report this Post to the Staff
