Coleyn New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 07/10/2023 3:01 pm I'll take another picture. It's missing alot of the face and the back with no damage at all to any other part of the coin Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 07/10/2023 10:30 pm This appears to be a coin that was worn down by some machinery or even sanding (finer and finer grit?). But no raised rim, to me, implies it was not tumbling and falling on its edge over and over in a dryer (or washer). How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 04/16/2024 08:21 am These are modern Lincoln cents (copper plated zinc) Dryer Coins. Note that the rims or face of the coins shows how the copper plating has been worn off.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 04/16/2024 1:48 pm Makes sense since the dirt at the bottom of the tubs is continually being moved around over them as well.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 04/16/2024 2:31 pm Great topic - it helps out immensely on identifying them. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Tmthyalex2 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 08/15/2024 9:10 pm My name is Tim Alexander and I have come across a 1974 Roosevelt dime that is pretty odd. First thing I noticed was the back.the die did not stamp the back of the dime completely. Next thing I noticed was the front is off center enough to cut some letters off in the words in and we. The dime only weighs 2.04 grams. The last thing I noticed is the sides have no ridges and appears to be copper in color. Please let me know something about it if you can. I am relatively new to collecting but haven't seen this yet. Thanks in advance Tim Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74054 Posts	Posted 08/15/2024 9:21 pm To CCF! Just seeing a worn and damaged dime. PMD. Worth 10 cents. 2.2 grams is what it's supposed to weigh. It only weighs 2.0 grams which tells me it was sanded down. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Vynymynyn New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 12/26/2024 8:06 pm Hey Earle... Thank you very much for enlightening me regarding Dryer Coins I see what was meant by the rim of the coin being smashed in toward the center with the pictures you provided Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25150 Posts	Posted 12/26/2024 9:00 pm to the CCF, Vynymynyn! Dryer Coins are very distinctive, once you know the key characteristics. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
