Greenstang Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) I have seen that rippled effect on a blowtorched cent. You have to keep the torch moving. in order to not melt the copper. It would also be damage, not an error. Edited December 2, 2023 by Greenstang Mike Meenderink and Hinkle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coinbuf Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 The effect on the op's coin can also be created from one of those sonic jewelry cleaner machines. Mike Meenderink and Hinkle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Meenderink Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) Improperly cleaned to remove surface corrosion that left that pattern as Coinbuf said in a sonic cleaner with a solution.
