Dearborn Moderator United States 95801 Posts	Posted 08/28/2023 9:27 pm I'll go with a blow torch type of flame causing this rippling effect. or possibly a wire wheel on a drill.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/29/2023 07:31 am met, Not an error. PMD. Weight would help a lot. I agree with heat from a blow torch, other option would be acid damage, but we need the weight to know for sure. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19150 Posts	Posted 08/29/2023 07:34 am Yes, damage caused by an intense heat source. Suggest keeping it as a fun curiosity. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 08/29/2023 5:02 pm People always reply that these coins are heated with a blow torch. Stop and think about it. How can you heat a coin to the point of melting and rippling the surface but not the whole coin? Thats not posable. Rather this coin was either sandblasted with glass beads or buffed with a wire wheel. You can see where they held it with vise grips. Report this Post to the Staff
