Coinedout New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/06/2015 12:12 pm I found this after it fell out of my pocket and someone picked it up. Could this be real? It appears to be another metal and is not steel as it failed the magnet test. It is the same diameter as a penny despite this large rim. Have any of you heard anything about these? * Staff Edit - Cropped and uploaded images here. * Edited by Coinedout 09/06/2015 12:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/06/2015 12:51 pm to CCF. The rolled over rim is indicative to a Dryer Coin but I don't think all the copper plating would be gone. Maybe a Texas Cent that was put in a dryer on purpose? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinedout New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/06/2015 7:48 pm What you guys are saying sounds right I had never heard of this commercial dryer thing until now. At first I thought it might have been dropped in acid until I realized it was rounding inward on both sides. I wonder if it was cleaned with a chemical at a commercial cleaner and then put through the dryer? That would explain removing the copper if they used some kind of acid cleaner.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 09/06/2015 8:19 pm Without knowing what the cent weighs it's hard to say whether or not the copper is missing. It may simply be discolored. Anyway, you have an interesting little oddity there. Report this Post to the Staff
tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 09/06/2015 9:21 pm I can't remember but I think it should weigh 2.5 grams because it's a zincoln and 3.1 if it's copper. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong I'm really tired Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/06/2015 9:47 pm Dryer Coin as already mentioned: The rolling over of the rims is the clue. The coins in a commercial dryer fall at a greater distance, than the ones in your home dryers would drop. Report this Post to the Staff
