CountryCharm Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 5:26 pm It did look that way, but I wasn't for sure and thought I should show the experts. I have about 20,000 more pennies to go through so hopeful I will have more to post. Thanks for your reply! Report this Post to the Staff

CountryCharm Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 5:53 pm Thanks! I appreciate you letting me know. It was worth posting to learn something new Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 6:01 pm Nope. Not Die Deterioration. Looks like it was flattened down, by what? We don't know. Report this Post to the Staff
CountryCharm Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 6:14 pm Okay. Either way its still a beautiful copper coin Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 6:53 pm Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If it pleases you, put it in a 2x2 holder (inexpensive packs available at your local coin shop} to protect it. Do not clean or wipe it. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 7:23 pm It does look like it was flattened. Report this Post to the Staff
kakaratt77 Pillar of the Community United States 1414 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 7:24 pm So, is Die Deterioration degradation of the actual die or a circulation occurrence? Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 7:29 pm Looks to me like the 1980 was hammered with something, it's PSD. Report this Post to the Staff
CountryCharm Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 7:51 pm I agree. I was hoping it was a flattened DDO though. Oh well. I think I'm on the right track anyways. It will be fun to finally go through my moms collection and see what she has. I will save this cent in a little card, CoinMasters. Thank you for the suggestion. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 8:43 pm That looks like what we refer to as a Dryer Coin: http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/pmd.html Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 8:48 pm kakaratt77. die deterioration. If it pertains to the die, then the event is a die anomaly. Report this Post to the Staff
CountryCharm Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 8:55 pm I see now cwb, the dryer acts like a tumbler and flattens the details. Good to know! Report this Post to the Staff
kakaratt77 Pillar of the Community United States 1414 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 9:14 pm SSK, why do you have not jbuck on your signature? Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 9:23 pm I was just about to say everyone's guess is wrong here, but then I noticed cwb beat me to it by 40 minutes or so. Indeed a Dryer Coin, very light Dryer Coin though. No as intense as the rolled rims you see on other ones. Report this Post to the Staff
