What do you think is going on with this quarter?

Meow's CRH for the day has produced a very odd quarter. It is most likely PMD through some torching Meow would guess. But the lumps are quite high, and the obverse is not affected at all. The lumps don't seem to be blisters, as they are hard and don't compress under a claw. Any thoughts?

I think you have already correctly answered your own question purrfectly. Now you have me doing it. And I don't even like cats.

 

Legomaster thinks Meow's quarter is PMD. Legomaster thinks Meow should spend it.

 

The reasons Meow was not saying for sure was because the other side of the coin is not damaged or concave at all. And the bulges don't seem hollow too. But what else could it be right?

 

I agree with others that Meow’s quarter is PMD. As to why one side is bulged and other not, I think the quarter has experienced fire damage. High temperature cause separation of clad in one area. The darkened area on left could be another indication of heat damage. Just my thought.

 

Heat affected the clad layer on the Reverse.
Nothing else.

 

Agreed.

 

technical term:

spare change

 

I believe it is fire damage as well. The damn cat probably knocked over a kerosene lantern.

It wasn't a cow, as Chicago did not burn with it.

 

The important question is, will a vending machine accept it?

 

I say no

 

Then it's damaged and it doesn't matter how.

 

I hoard all my change.
But this one, would end up in the trash bowl (to be spent again, or throw away in the trash).

 

I'll bet it would!

Meow thinks it wont fit in the typical coin slot. Meow will see if the coistar will accept it. Meow doubts it, but maybe it will magically turn to silver as it falls in to the bottom tray.

 

Meow has placed it in the spending pile.

 

Try putting it in a vending machine that sells dog products.

Just hand it to a clerk at the checkout.
