Second, that bubbly surface you are seeing is likely due to exposure to high heat, such as from being in a fire. An interesting find, but not a mint error.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/08/2023 12:13 pm to the CCF! this coin looks to have heat or fire damage. The coin must have been exposed to a temperature around 2200°f where the outer cupronickel clad layers softened and pulled away from the copper core. Both the obverse and reverse clad layers then developed a bubble that deformed the surfaces. When the coin cooled, this was the damage left behind. This would also account for the rough, pitted surfaces and the dark carbon spotting. 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
