Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 8:45 pm @dirt, that odd collapsed bubble is most likely due to exposure to high heat. We sometimes call these "campfire coins".

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/12/2023 12:24 am to the CCF! When clad coins are exposed to fire or high heat, the clad layer can soften and separate from the copper core. The slightly molten metal can bubble up. When the coin cools, the bubble can deflate and leave a wavy surface as seen on your coin. It also looks like the surfaces have lots of small pits, which can also be a sign of heat damage. Error coins are out there, but they are rare. I once read that errors account for only 0.00007% of the coins minted. Of the hundreds of error coins I've owned, only a few were found in circulation. Keep searching, but remember, most anomalies you find will be circulation marks or damage. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/12/2023 07:09 am Dirtyquarter1776, WADR,you need to post better quality photos. The better the photos you post the better we can help you.Also,please properly crop your photos before posting. The dime is heat damaged after it left the mint so it is PMD (post mint damaged),if it happened in the mint, it would be PSD (post strike damage). John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Most of the coins came from Dallas Rare Coins purchased one or two (or 20) at a time, over a period of 25 years. I also found them at coin shows and online auctions (Heritage, ebay.) My greatest find ever came from a box of breakfast cereal. You can guess what that one was. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T!
