VestigeWolf Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 12/28/2021 8:13 pm I will say post mint damage ( PMD) done with heat. But let's see what others say. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 12/28/2021 9:12 pm I will say that @vest is right on with that answer. Rim dings aside, that bubbling in the middle seems to happen when clad coins are heated (such as in a campfire).

Dearborn Moderator United States 96674 Posts	Posted 12/28/2021 9:18 pm It looks to me that the quarter was stood up with the 19 of the date at the very bottom then heated up until the metal started sagging a little.
