Second, with regard to this bubbling in between FDR's face and LIBERTY, that is due to exposure high heat. We sometimes call these "campfire coin", but it is impossible much more about how this was done except to say that it happened after the coin left the mint.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/02/2023 6:04 pm Noting the disturbance on fields by the nose, it looks like the coin was heated, swelling the fields on that area, and partly flattened to be used in a vending machine. So this is just a damage coin, a spender. Report this Post to the Staff
