<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MTCoins123, post: 1660176, member: 45553&quot;]Yes i understamd it is damaged (altered) in some way ,Thanks. Also i agree there is nothing, to my knowledge, in the process of striking a coin that would cause such a change.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In the research i did i came across &quot;Heat blistered&quot; Coins. From what i gathered heat blisters are caused by minute gas bubbles caught between the layers of Clad coins, in a coin made of a single metal a blister is extremely unlikely, i would assume if a single blister is unlikely then this type of blistering would be nearly impossible and on a coin that is not clad it should be impossible. I do agree that it does fit the description of an alteration caused by heat though, i would have to say though that it would also require some serious deviation from the purity of a standard seated half, either a counterfeit made from a substandard metal or a substandard planchet at the mint for some reason. In my personal experience i have melted many types of metals and have never seen a metal (a consistent alloy) blister, not even a single small blister. I Guess if we assume it is a heat damaged coin then i would like to know what conditions would the metal need to meet in order for this extreme blistering to happen? Or, did the seated half ever get made from any type of &quot;clad&quot; planchet&#039;s?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also i am new here and i hope no one thinks i am being rude or offensive i know it can take a bit before a group can adjust to a persons &quot;tone&quot; in their posts... i really appreciate any help <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
