Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74016 Posts	Posted 02/02/2026 11:44 pm It's PMD. My best guess is from heat. Not an error. Worth 25 cents. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 02/02/2026 11:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10515 Posts	Posted 02/03/2026 12:15 am The design on the coin will distort with the expanding metal when the coin is super heated with a source like a blow torch - ~~were~~ we're not talking heating it with a lighter or small flame but something that will actually start melting the metal.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21603 Posts	Posted 02/03/2026 1:08 pm We see these quite frequently on the forum so you can believe eveyone when they say it was heat damaged. They are sometimes known as campfire coins. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19148 Posts	Posted 02/03/2026 1:29 pm Agree with all above--intense heat damage. Coin didn't leave the striking chamber in that condition. Report this Post to the Staff
