No this is not a Dryer Coin there are no striations to indicating so all of the devices are spread out three to four times their original size the coin itself is normal size and thickness and waight of 2.5 the way the copper plating is rolled over almost gives it a Cud look |

It's a damaged cent, not an error. It's PMD. Errers and Varietys.

I agree it has the ear marks of a Dryer Coin, (even if you disagree) it is still a damaged coin. |

Well so is everybody telling me that the dryer melted the coin then and that's why the lettering is 2 to 3 times as thick as what it should be ? I've got 20 to 25 Dryer Coins I know what Dryer Coins look like this Edge on here is not rolled it is the original Edge just like the coin pictured next to it and the copper coating is scrunched in on the inside of the rim it has not lost any of its circumference. Would posting pictures of the edge of this coin and picture of the measurement with calipers and it on a scale help? I don't see where everybody's seeing any straight striations or anything indicating that this was caught in a dryer or a coin operated machine or any of those which indicate that it would be a Dryer Coin other than the copper plating being rolled over somehow to the Inside Edge of the Lincoln Cent while leaving the original Edge fully intact with no where or scuffs or dings or anything |

Fresh Find, these coins in the picture below are known to be "Dryer Coins, the rim edge of these coins is similar to yours... These coins did not roll but lay flat between the tubs...

It's STILL damage, no matter how many pics you post. Please explain exactly how this happens during the minting process. Quote:
There's no material missing the measurements are with intolerance and there is no striations indicating something removed the copper coding 1. Dryer Coins don't lose material, it is just displaced. 2. Your diameter is 18.8214 mm, normal is 19.05 mm, which explains the rolled edge, even if it is still in tolerance. Send it to PCGS today. If it comes back in an error slab, I'll reimburse you. Coin's in your court. If you're right you have nothing to lose.  |

I had a favorite teller at a local bank where I'd pick-up lots of rolled coins--mostly cents. That particular branch serviced the accounts of a couple coin-op laundromats. She told me stories of coins which would come in after being dug out of dryers. She showed me some of the more extreme examples, as well as many cents which looked much like Fresh Find's example. With that, I remain in the Dryer Coin camp. Now, it must be noted that Fresh Find has the coin in-hand and can examine it under a myriad of conditions. All we have are a few static 2D photos. Suggest submitting the coin to a reputable 3rd party grading/variety/error assessment service, and please share the findings. Thanks. Edited by ijn1944

My friend you were wrong twice a Dryer Coin does lose material as it wears it down and two the diameter of a Lincoln Cent is .75. So given it is only 9 hundredths of an inch the copper coating is not even that thick which this coin still has on the Outer Rim if you look at the pictures so this coin is with intolerance. And a Dryer Coin doesn't get material displaced especially towards the inner part of the coin which is where the copper coating that is missing from the lip of the edge is if you look at it that is not dirt and the lettering and banner and everything is enlarged..... All right you'll have a good time this site is the joke nobody looks at the information presented to them with any kind of logical mindset they're just full of assumptions and lack of factual knowledge. Some of you should take a little extra time and actually look at the pictures I posted and read what I said and maybe do a little reading up on the subject because I have |
