<p>[QUOTE="VistaCruiser69, post: 8307071, member: 107016"]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.</p><p> </p><p>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.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
