coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 2:37 pm Damaged coin. If it happened after the strike then it is a damaged coin. Spender. (put it back to work) Or save it in your "Show and Tell" items to a new collector. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25383 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 2:39 pm to the Forum, TTProcess14! Could you give us an accurate weight of this coin? To me, it appears that either there is extensive post-mint damage or it is a counterfeit. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
TTProcess14 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 2:44 pm I'll post the weight when I home to this forum. Alongside the coins retrieved from grandparents small "collection". Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1498 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 5:12 pm Possible heat damage? Almost looks like someone tried to melt it (for the 35% silver content). Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 5:22 pm Agree, heat damage. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19183 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 5:28 pm Yes, post-strike damage. I do believe heat was applied at some point in the past. If coins could talk... Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96800 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 6:13 pm IK would go with a heat application here. I may add that the obverse looks like someone tried to 'antique' it with the kind of paint that cracks when it dries.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15459 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 05:19 am to the CCF I agree with damage. The reverse has a large P mint mark above the dome indicating this war time issue was struck in an alloy of 35% silver. Despite the damage the melt value of the silver content is $1.23 as of today spot silver price. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
