I cannot seem to find anything on this coin I received from my grandfather. I do not intend to sell it, but I would still like very much to know how much it's worth. Any help is much appreciated. That bare spot is a rise, I think it may be a bubble?

    Agree with the above, just heat damage causing expansion between the layers.
    We see quite a few of these on the forum.
