Dryer coin? John1  |

It could be but how could a dryer do the same thing to 2 different coins? I don't think the same exact damage on the same year and even cause them to weigh the same could be done by just some random means.

Can you give us the link to the other coin so that we can compare them.

Dryers--commercial grade dryers (usually)--are just plain brutal to coins trapped in the rotating drum mechanism. Certainly, we're not looking at a mint error. Lots of abrasion damage.

I agree with abrasion. Along the Great Lakes, you can pair up gazillions of matching black basalt rocks with similar sizes and shapes, and they did not start out from something as uniform as a coin of the same type.
The other part is, how in the minting process could one obtain a rounded edge on the coin? The pictures imply a uniformly radiused edge all the way around the coin with no trace of a rim.
If there is a way that could happen, someone please let me know.

Looks sanded to me. Metal was removed as the reeds are totally gone. I see no evidence of a dryer issue with this coin. How the damage happen is not the issue, but that it was damaged, is the issue. A damaged coin is never worth more than face value.  |

It's was done with an electric sander. We sanded quit a few coins in high school (shop class) back in the late 70's They turned out exactly like this. I really dont believe it's a Dryer Coin but either way it's just a damaged coin worth face value |

Here is a link to the original thread: http://goccf.com/t/262199and a side-by-side comparison. I agree quite similar wear patterns for these two.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

 with jasper62. The rims and devices have all been smoothed to the same level. |

Deliberately ground down, I'd say.  to the CCF! |

I was reading about die adjustments and Struck Through Grease errors. Is it possible that this is one of them or maybe combo or something? |

I don't think it is either of those issues. John1 |
