[QUOTE="RichardT, post: 4861605, member: 100005"]Such raised areas or blisters could indicate that the coin is genuine and has been in a fire, or it could be that there has been some internal corrosion going on. If it's internal corrosion it's likely that the coin is a fourree, an ancient counterfeit. The blisters may have been caused by the corrosion of base metals in the coin core. If you had the weight of the coin it would help. But either way I do not think it's a modern fake.[/QUOTE]
