Picked this up for 8$ at a local flea market. Major in rev, but also slightly visible in the obv. What do you guys think? Any value?

Ach!

 

What do you think it is then?

 

Cause those ridges are raised.

 

not sure, maybe heat damage.. this is a clash.. http://www.error-ref.com/die_clash/

 

A die clash is when the obverse or any portion there of gets on the reverse or visa versa. If that's a die clash please explain how you can see the obverse on the reverse. It's what I call damaged.

 

Agree not a clash. Either heat or extreme die deterioration

 

I guess the right acid could do that but I believe it to be Damage from heat.

 

Well thanks for the info. Explains why he was asking 10$ for a 40% half. Welp, thats a pricy mistake, and some expensive scrap silver!

 

has to be from one sided heat, the rims are gone on the left/right of the reverse.

 

Coulda been worse...but you got hosed.

 

This is a "rippled" coin -- an alteration. Most often seen on cents, the ripples are generally attributed to a rotating polishing or buffing wheel. But lacking experimental evidence, I'll hedge my bets. It's still something that couldn't transpire within a striking chamber.
