coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/18/2022 11:25 am Note the metal distortion that the heat caused. Some hotter torches can even alter the surface of the coin even more: The weight will be normal on these coins. It is not a mint error as it was alter post strike. Just a face value coin now.
