flee10001 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 06/17/2011 12:17 am I'm not familiar with coin collection. I came cross a quarter and would like to find out what is it? If it worth anything? The quarter has one bump on each side of the coin. One on the head, and another is on the right wing. The coin surface seems very dark. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/17/2011 10:48 am This coin has been heated to a high temperature which caused an internal separation of the clad layers. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 06/17/2011 11:22 am Looks as if the eagle hit George in the head with his wing. That's one nasty head injury!. I'm with biokemist on this one. Looks like heat caused the bubbles and dark color. The localization on the obverse looks like it may have been done with a torch. They may have been trying to soften the metal of the coin to make a ring. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
