"COD", Multiple Die chips, multiple strikes, maybe a cladding issue. Weight: 5.575 Could someone with more knowledge help identify? Hopefully the images are clear enough. Thanks in advance!

Could have been buried at one time or subjected to an acid bath. Worth 25 cents. Edit: I'm actually thinking maybe heat damage. Errers and Varietys.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94913 Posts	Posted 11/18/2025 11:12 am Heat damage (the bulging on the obverse is separated cladding from the copper core.) and an acid dip is a possibility to account to the weight loss. The stuff circled on the reverse loos as normal as it can and is part of the design Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
