[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2714968, member: 24314"]Playing around with a torch can be dangerous for your coins. Nevertheless, many coins are heated during attempts to repair some damage. :jawdrop: Usually, round, smooth, lumps on a coin's surface indicate a casting; however, heat can make a genuine coin like this silver dollar look suspicious. In the first image, you'll see many raised lumps around the letter "S." The second image with the lumps pressed out shows that they were not solid as they would be if this were a cast. Image of both sides or the whole coin will not be posted :banghead::banghead: :bigtears: as you don't need them to understand this post. :sorry:[/QUOTE]
