Damage. No value.

 

It looks like the coin was dipped in something corrosive. The right side wasn't exposed.

 

Electric Wire wheel brush is what I was told about mine.

 

Thanks! I just don't understand how that would cause the doubling/tripling effect like on your "One" or on the top of my left wheat ear. Did you get more of an explanation?

 

No I did not, But I did try to recreate this effect and I had some success.

 

I may have to try this one! Thanks again.

Thanks for the thread. Very interesting!

 

Looks to be a chemical reaction of some sort. Maybe heat. Very cool looking coin. I like it

 

Try a very hot flame gas torch from an angle.
