Hello, I'm new here but have been collecting coins for a long time. I found this coin today and I fully believe this to be a very rare error coin. Unfortunately I don't know this to be true. It's not in the best of condition but the blob face is not from any kind of wear. It's raised beyond typical minting. I see no evidence of metal being added to the coin or anything shady. I just don't know what I have and would love some help.

No way to tell from the blurry pictures. Plus include the reverse pic also.

IBUYSOULS,

Pics are too blurry,but guessing it is heat damage which makes it PMD and not a mint error.
I also moved your thread to a better section.

Appears to be post-strike damage--likely exposure to extreme heat. Posted images are a bit difficult to work with.

Everything bubbles when heat is applied, even coins.

We will gladly help you, but we will need in focus images first. We are locking this topic to prevent posts with "We need images". You will get many more quality responses when quality images are in the first post of a topic. Please start a new topic when you are able to upload pictures. If needed you can use the testing forum. Tutorials are below.

Note: This one may be removed when you start a new topic. So don't panic if you get an email that your topic was removed it's only this one.

PC: We highly recommend IrfanView. (Download) (Irfanview Tutorial)

Apple Computers: Tutorial here: http://goccf.com/t/466343

Cell Phones (iPhone or Android): First, do not upload cell phone pictures of screens. They are terrible. Please check your camera settings are set to Medium quality. If it uses compression use 70%, it's perfectly fine for the internet. For file type please use WEBP if your phone has it, otherwise JPG. Avoid PNG and GIF, they are horrible choices. Be sure to crop the image to only show the coin. This is a great setup for cell phones.
