Yunier7910 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 07/22/2018 11:09 pm Since I got this coin in my hands I noticed the difference compared with other pennies , rings on both sides are present and top of the coin is wider compared with bottom . Could you guys tell me how this error is known. Thanks in advance . Edited by Yunier7910 07/23/2018 8:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75053 Posts	Posted 07/22/2018 11:13 pm Unfortunately, it's a Dryer Coin. It's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). If you click on Dryer Coin, it will show you other examples. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 12:39 am The the coin wider than a normal cent? I think this could possibly be an example of a forced broadstrike similar to this dime: http://goccf.com/t/323699 Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 12:27 pm Looks like a Dryer Coin or spooned coin. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75053 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 12:33 pm It's still a Dryer Coin unfortunately. It's still a damaged coin. It's only worth face value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 3:09 pm Am I crazy here or am I seeing peripheral expansion on the obverse? I would think that on a spooned coin or Dryer Coin you would see compression of the coins edge, not expansion? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21653 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 3:32 pm Yunier- Place that coin over a regular cent and check the diameter. Is it smaller, larger or the same? Report this Post to the Staff
Yunier7910 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 3:43 pm Ok guys I will post other pictures today , but definitely the diameter on the top of the coin is bigger + the b on liberty is deformed and look that was by pressure apply . When I got home I going to post More pictures . Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21653 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 3:54 pm If the diameter is bigger, it can't be a Dryer Coin. Younier, take a picture of your coin on top of a regular cent. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75053 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 4:43 pm If it's not a Dryer Coin, then can it be a Spooned coin? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9871 Posts	Posted 07/23/2018 4:44 pm Spooned. Someone had a lot of time on their hands. The OP says the rim is wider at the top, and I believe does not understand what we mean by the diameter of the coin. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 07/23/2018 4:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
