coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/06/2022 11:59 am The coin was heated in a fire or torched. (Not black looking like coins in a house fire) but because of the different metals or heat between the clad they look like your coin. These are not a mint error, they were altered post strike. So they are not a premium for the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 02/06/2022 5:39 pm @polly, I agree with the above but would only add that the since the obverse of this coin has FDR's portrait, the bubble is actually on the reverse side.
