Heat-marks to heat the coin up enough to move metal? and have no evidence of heating and less metal on other areas of the coin.
sorry but there is no way that other metal's was melted on the coin it would be evident of welding. separation of the 2 metal's

 

I'm beginning to see where some of the 'purist' attitudes develop from, not that I'll ever be a purist.

 

@Raizac you have been a member for nearly a year, haven't you read any of the 'is this an error?' threads?

 

If it is an error I'll eat it.

 

Might throws off any lab work pertinent to your health should you need any. Not sure exactly what high AU content in the blood would cause though.

 

I'm waiting to write a check for the
authentication/shipping fees........

Please advise when you've shipped it,
to what Company you sent it to, and
most important, don't forget to post'
a photo of it in the Mint Error holder.

The sooner you send it off, and get it back,
the sooner you'll be reimbursed in full.

 

I'll even offer to double the reimbursement.

 

Trying to get into my action?

I'll TRIPLE the reimbursement, AND
send you a greeting card!

 

I beg forgiveness.

 

I think he went back to bed. He'll be back.

 

@Fred Weinberg lol guys now this is the way to get rich quick..... now all I have to do is get the 3pg's and to give me a mint error. NOT

for the rest of you, I have had my share of find's the {Wisconsin high leaf the 1972 ddo, 1966 ddr quarter that is graded vf30, 1966 penny mad} witch is my profile pic by the way. and yes I have been at this for ruffly 1 year now<< ( can you say that you found all the error's in your first year at coin collecting)? I do not claim to be the expert! I still post coin's that I find that is WAY different from other coin's and that I have seen out of my knowledge to get another opinion as to what I am seeing

I find an odd quarter that has a mound of extra metal on Washington's face and is lighter than other quarters. I ask your opinion about it and you pouncing like a pack of wolf's saying that I clam this quarter to be something. I have not claimed this quarter to be anything other than it's Washington has no face and it's lighter

 

Many, many years ago and a few more years after that my old coin shop burnt to the ground. You can have melted metal in all shapes and sizes, without having less/more metal here or there.

The coin can show no evidence of heating as well. Not all clad coins separate in heat, even from a fire. There are many factors to be considered, a few are:

*Where did the fire start?
*How close to the fire were the affected coins?
*The storage of the coins at the time of the fire.
*The manner in which the fire was fought by trained fire fighters.
*Even cold water to fight the fire can cause differences in the coin afterwards.

And lots more. From the same fire I have seen coins with a portion of the coins surface melted that showed no signs of heat damage. No blistering, no bumps, no smoke, soot or flame damage. And another coin found inches, yes, inches away had a small piece of wood charred into attracted to the surface of an identical coin. The charred wood and what was left of the coin became one solid piece, never to be separated.

I know I'm talking about a fire with intense heat but I'm also refuting your comments about heat and damage. I had 2 coins I purchased from my dealer but both were stolen by my ex-wife. No photos exist as this happened before cell phones were invented but Captain Kirk was telling Scotty to "beam me up" on a communicator which was the idea behind the flip phone.

In other words, it has happened and it will continue to do so. If it's damaged, which your quarter is, it's damaged. Why, how and by whom don't matter.

 

it has multiple damage such as but not limited to (for example, because I was not one of the possible many people and incidents):
(a) left in acid / ground for some period of time due to the surface texture
(b) damage of edge ground down
(c) fire melting a part of it. (could have been placed on a singular coal, landed on edge of wood, torch, etc)
(d) face got hit by something that pushed down and displaced metal to the sides (notice the double "rings" on the back side ?)
(e) other dings and dents including around the rim
(f) circulation wear

 

I think this coin was a test case for a bored individual.

 

Test Case - Failed miserably

 

@Collecting Nut the comment was

I was referring to this comment on the heat damage idea by a "torch lighter" I think would leave damage on the reverse side to get the metal that hot by a torch would leave damage. torches get realy hot and not to make damage to what they are heating to move metal and still leave the design in place and not affecting the rest of the coin ie less metal. still I am NO EXPERT this is only my opinion

 

I believe the "mound of metal" is simply a bubble in the clad layer caused by heat.

 

I like this discussion just leave the attack's out of it I do not claim this to be anything when you have a discussion and have life experience's about this type of damage other's ppl like me learn for you telling your experience's it helps other's to learn as well
stop attacking ppl it is common to defend what you see when you find something odd.
you have the knowledge to help ppl then explain it. if attacking ppl when they do not know is your idea of helping ppl plz stop posting. we are here to learn not to get attacked.

 

I have a mercury dime that was acid dipped and displayed the same distortion. It’s counter intuitive as acid is a subtractive corrosive, but it can cause things like bumps that look like added metal when in fact it’s just distorted.
