Coinstar had a few finds this week, and then there is oddball 1959-D which I lean a tad more towards PMD, or it is an error I don't see often  . Its weight is a bit under, coming in at about 2.3 grams from normal 3.1g.   |

Seem to be a fire damage from the East of the coin. The heavy black on cooper like this in general it is fire, or heating, probable at not more the 350 deg. C.
To confirm an surface Lab test will say, but the cost of the test will not sten-up with the value of the coin. I thing other coin was over this one during heating.

@mr, interestingly, this is the second wrinkled cent that has been posted on CCF in the past few days http://goccf.com/t/413688). I'm not sure that we have conclusively determined the way that this damage occurred. @sil's theory of excessive heat is a good one. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

That is a good possibility about heat applied, I kinda wonder what coop would think  I do like silviosi's possibility but it is not quite conclusive yet, but to me it looks cool, I'll admit  . |

The story is short. 12-15 years ago, been in San Diego take a supper with my friends and one of the most appreciate coins expert him receive a phone and ask me to follow in Mexico. I get there and see an devastated fire house. I ask your know friend what him want to do here, except the nice girls and nice music. the answer surprise me with "This it is a house of one of the bigger collector" So looking from my fields of numismatic I discover those kind of deformations. I took picture, analyze on place and kept in my database and mind.
On the second assignment of this kind here in Canada I find same strange deformation. Logically is a big coincidence, but please believe, never have the coins in Lab to analyze. the security and insurance has more power.
so I attribute to those coins same factor of DAMAGE.

Looks like the coin was dipped in acid, the weight was reduced and the edges were reduced. The raised area on the Obverse looks like damage into the reverse side of the coin. The coin is probably the size of a dime? An attempt to cheat a soda machine:  Note the middle coin you can see the same dissolving affect on the devices. (On TRUST on this coin) |
