Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 05:25 am It was heated to the point that the clad layers became soft. The layers separated from the copper core and bubbled slightly. When it cooled the metal was left with the lumpy surfaces you see on your Roosevelt dime. It could have been any type of fire, but these are sometimes called 'Campfire Coins.' Post Mint Damage or PMD. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Edited by Yokozuna 07/17/2023 05:25 am Report this Post to the Staff
