Popular Post Coinbuf Posted January 4 Popular Post Share Posted January 4 Just damaged. Blow torch or some type of heat was used to expand the clad layer, when it cooled this is what you get, not an error.

Greenstang Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Also known as a campfire coin. RonnieR131 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem38 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 If a blow torch were to do it, Wouldn't there be more of the coin melted. Take a real close look at the back of the coin. If something so hot were pushing against the plant on the left side, can u tell me why a perfect out line of the leaf is in the melted part? Please( below the D, & below the A). Thank you I'm just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Quote If a blow torch were to do it, Wouldn’t there be more of the coin melted. The coin doesn’t melt, it doesn’t get that hot. What happens is the small pockets of air between the cladding and copper core expand and form a bubble pushing the cladding outward. When the coin cools down, the cladding collapses resulting in the effect you see. There have been many similar coins posted on this forum so they are easily recognized. They are sometimes called campfire coins. Henri Charriere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
