Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 03/08/2023 04:46 am That bubble on both sides is from heat affecting the different metals on the clad quarter by making them expand in that area. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 03/08/2023 08:02 am Agreed, the heat caused the cladding to bubble up and separate from the copper core. As Merclover states, was probably in a fire. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
