ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19213 Posts	Posted 09/23/2021 2:05 pm Sharper photos--obverse and reverse--would be very welcome. At first glance, the coin appears damaged--not a minting error. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/23/2021 2:05 pm . When posting photos,it is always best to post one full coin photo of the obverse and one full coin photo of the reverse as well as one or two close ups when and where needed. Your coin may have been heated. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 09/23/2021 2:08 pm Looks like heat damage. Maybe from a fire or blow torch, hard to say the source. Your questions are of no bother. Please continue to ask your questions, we learn from each other. You are part of our family now, so please feel welcomed and wanted, ok?

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21635 Posts	Posted 09/23/2021 2:11 pm Please show both sides of the coin when posting. As merclover stated, it looks like heat damage causing the copper layer to expand. Report this Post to the Staff
