I'm just curious to find out what would cause this Queen to look this way. I know it's not valuable but it's unique.

Dryer coin? Who knows. Damage is damage.

Now that I looked at it again, maybe heat or acid damage.

Weigh it - if weight is normal then it could be heat damage. If it weighs light it could be acid damage. I don't think a Dryer Coin as the rims are not folded over.

yeah, if the weight is light, it would be acid damage, but or heat damage is not out of the question here either, a Dryer Coin is a possibility if it was just randomly tumbling around but not too likely.

But for sure it is simply a very damaged coin.

looks like it was cast to me. My guess is acid damage.

Yeah, I was just curious how something like this would happen. I didn't think like in acid would make everything puff up like a balloon. But thank you anyway and wasn't looking to see if it was valuable, just wanted to know what happened
