Tons of posts about " Dryer Coins" or "intentionally damaged", or "PMD, doesn't matter how it happened".

So I give you a "Washer Coin" a.k.a PMD by washing machine.

Seems like this style of Dryer Coin doesn't have the exaggerated rims, so a slightly different mechanism of damage, but we see plenty of these posted too. Good detective work @igw!

Great work, igwt79! We see many coins with this same pattern of PMD here on the CCF, and I've seen more than my share IRL. Thanks to your detective work, we now know the cause!
