    2007 D Washington State Quarter Dollar
    Any Ideas?
    Bubble on OBV and REV , These bubbles are solid they and are not back to back.Not SOLDER. Details of OBV wig and REV wave are present, except for the very top of the bubbles, where ware is evedent of contact from being the highest point. These are my first coin photos, and hope they are good enough. It is hard for me to get the whole coin in one shot, but working on it. 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg 5.jpg 6.jpg 7.jpg

    Damage likely from being shot with a bb gun or bearing from a wrist rocket. If you come across any 1970's or older pennies or dimes that look like this, my friends and I may be the ones responsible. We used to shoot coins with our bb guns back in the late 70's.

    On your quarter, looks like the obverse was the point of impact, causing the "bubble" on the reverse. The "bubble" on the reverse is actually displaced material from the metal being pushed outward from the impact on the obverse. I'd like to see an angled image of the obverse like how the reverse was photographed at an angle.

    no indentations on coin, from impact on either side, just protruding "bubbles", for lack of a better word; thank you for reply

    If I read the post correctly, it's a bulge on both sides, not a dent on one. [Edit: confirmed while I was typing.]

    That makes it heat damage, where a bubble between the clad layers pops out the surface on both sides. The coin looks like it was in a fire, and was cleaned afterward.

    By the way the rest of the coin looks if I recall correctly hight heat exposure can cause this effect,its a damaged coin nonetheless.

    Extreme heat will cause that to occur between the clad and copper core. Damaged.

    I agree. If it is a bulge on both sides, it's from extensive heat. I'd like to see an angled shot of the obverse just like the very last picture showing the reverse at an angle. With that we could see if the obverse has an innie or outie.

    Since the op attached a few pix of the reverse at an angle but not one of the obverse at an angle, I have my doubts the obverse has an outie like the reverse has.

    I'm at a heat induced situation.
