I've found Coins like your's ,but not puffed up that much, mine were found in salt water marshes in Florida

I’ve seen a big pile of coins from all over the world that were in a house fire. Many were melted together but I don’t remember any being puffy.

This thread is like that Oak Island show. Will it ever be figured out?? At least the treasure WAS found here.

You mean they Actually found something after upteen seasons ???
Probably found it the second week.
But had to recover cost of production.
Plus the multi millions payed to the Actors.

Where is the general geographic location in which it was found? Do you have freeze-thaw cycles where you are at? Shot in the dark but could have water infiltrated between the sandwiched layers of the quarter and then froze?

I found this quarter this week not knowing it was a quarter I thought it was a button until I felt the edges it was reeded.
It’s like it was filled with air and expanded on both sides it’s puffed out?
Anyone ever see a quarter like this?
It’s a newer quarter newer design any way.

It was in a fire. After Hurricane Sandy, a fire broke out on the boardwalk. Lots of coins were melted and puffed up like yours.
Sorry, not home, otherwise Id show pictures, Coin was exposed to heat and the clad has separated. Maybe a campfire ???

Could always put it on the train track and flatten it back out

It was interesting in the beginning.
Then drama and greed rolled in.
Proper GPR would have showed anything down to a hundred plus meters.
Nope don't watch it nor most of the gold shows.
Except Outback Gold Fever.
Australian gal. Getting quite good actually.
And the old Buzzard GPAA shows.

Never heard of such a coin. I do have a dime I found that is almost twice the size and heavier then the original. And the copper ring is thicker????.. hhrickinmi

Sounds interesting.

It might be some kind of manufacturing defect or result of unusual damage. Without seeing it, hard to say exactly what caused the puffy look.

Salt water beach? If so possibly the saline water infiltrated between the sandwiched layers and crystallized causing the swelling.
