Mightyheaths Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 12:59 pm While CRH dime rolls I found a 1974 D Lincoln Memorial cent that appears to be on a dime planchet. The coin in question is in the middle of the photo. Any opinions? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Mightyheaths Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 1:32 pm A couple more photos of the coin on top of a normal 1974 D and on top of a dime. Report this Post to the Staff
Cleatis87 Valued Member United States 125 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 1:48 pm Should be able to tell by weight of planchet if I'm not mistaken? Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 1:48 pm It looks like the edge was ground down, sanded, or maybe a Dryer Coin. Can you get a clear picture of the edge? Report this Post to the Staff

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 2:56 pm It's a normal cent damaged outside of the mint. Worth it's weight in copper Report this Post to the Staff
Mightyheaths Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 4:11 pm Thanks for your opinions. The coin weighs 2.69 g I've attached another photo that shows the edge. The coin is the exact circumference of a dime. Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 4:17 pm See how the edge was rolled over and pressed down. I believe someone was trying to load rolls of dimes with cents. Report this Post to the Staff

Kevin43 Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 4:22 pm The edge of the coin is like a nickel I just posted a couple days ago,it turned out to be caused by a commercial dryer. Report this Post to the Staff
Bob Levi Valued Member Canada 488 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 6:31 pm Looks like a Dryer Coin to me. Report this Post to the Staff
