Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75286 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 4:05 pm Looks like a very early stage of a Dryer Coin. It got stuck in the rolling drum in the dryer for a little short time. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not convinced about a clothes dryer having caused this, but that is one possibility.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 4:24 pm I'm thinking the coin was placed between two pieces of leather and beat up to flatten and wide the devices. Not enough to enlarge the overall size, just a beating to alter the devices. What ever happened is not what the coin got from the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
