Mistyrain Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Any idea what causes this quarter to look like this? Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lem E Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Looks like heat damage to me. Clad layers are separating from the core. The Neophyte Numismatist and Coinbuf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powermad5000 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Looks like a parking lot coin to me that had a couple rocks underneath it, got run over a couple times and was stuck in a puddle of muck for a while to start a corrosion process.

Coinbuf Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Yep I agree with @Lem E and @The Neophyte Numismatist, heat damage, too close to the campfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Meenderink Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) So as usual I'm going to throw a wrench in this thread and say this coin is an improperly annealed coin that is loosing/lost its clad layer. It also has PMD and the beginning of copper degradation from being in a uncontrolled environment.

EagleRJO Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Looks like there are some dings and nicks, but the mushy appearance combined with the blisters on a clad coin are classic signs of heat damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
