Interesting coin in change!

BigNorange

I found this coin in my change today. It caught my attention because on the reverse to the right of the torch there's an area that is shiny copper like a new penny. But when I took a picture of it I can see a face to the left of the torch right next to the flame. Can anyone else see it or do I need glasses? Has anyone else found interesting shapes in toning?

Please I want the first gift of Christmas, but I can't hear the bells.

I can't hear the Bells!, I can't hear the Bells!



In other words, I don't see it.

you must be chosen to 'see the face'

BigNorange

For those not chosen here's a hint. It's funny my wife says it looks like jesus and wants to know what I did wrong to make him turn my coin copper. anyway don't be surprised to see it on the bay. But seriously do you think it was in a fire and the silver melted off and just the copper is left. Thanks and Merry X-Mas to all

2003-P would be copper-nickel alloy. No silver EVER in that coin.

It is for sure damage but I do see the face . i would get it on the bay . You might be surprised what someone would pay for it. Nice pics by the way .

Looks like it was in a salty snowbank.
Is that face weeping?

It's a ghost!! It's a ghost of some guy that burned in a fire in 2003. He's trying to come back to life, but he's caught in your coin. He's reaching out to you. He's hiding behind the torch, because he's afraid of the fire that burned him.

Thanks you scared me so much I threw it out the window.

You may be on to something we had a terrible fire called the station night club fire several years ago more than 100 people died in that fire it's making me wonder,
