1976 Roosevelt Dime - Strange Damage or Stranger Error? 0

[Loballer540]

Hello,

While going though some old bags of coins I found this interesting 1976 Roosevelt dime. It has raised portions on both sides of it (Obverse - Blob Near Nose/Mouth area, Reverse - LARGE "C" shape on right side and smaller raised section across from it.)

I have no idea how this damage/error could have happened. It seems like the coin has more material than a typical dime.

 

Is this some error or just damage?

How did this happen, whether it be an error or just damage?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum. Looks like damage from heat or a fire.

I agree with Lem, heat damage.

Thank you all for the prompt replies. A bit of a disappointment that its' not some rare error but knowledge gained is always a win!

Have a great day
