Brice0113 New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 12:37 am I found this in a roll today. Can anyone tell me what happened? This coin is as smooth as a baby's butt where the Monticello should be. I am clueless about this one.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 12:42 am It was caught in a rotating machine of some sort. Most say a " Dryer Coin", which it can if caught in the baffle portion not the rotating drum. Edited by Crazyb0 09/02/2018 12:43 am Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34416 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 07:25 am @Brice0113, I agree with @crazyb0 that this is just PMD (certainly could be from a dryer) and does not add to the value of the coin.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 1:37 pm Definitely damaged after the mint. But... I have a question about it being a Dryer Coin. For years my (coin collecting) grandfather had laundromats, and I have a lot of Dryer Coins from this (see my thread http://goccf.com/t/143863). I do not have any recollection or samples of this type of damage. Do we know for sure this is a type of Dryer Coin damage also?

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74301 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 5:14 pm It's a heavily damaged and beat up coin. It's post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). It's only worth five cents. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
