Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 12/07/2018 4:01 pm I'm sure there is a term for this, but I don't know it. It has no reeding on the edge, completely smooth. The rim is significantly raised relative to a typical Rosie. His face has taken a beating as well. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/07/2018 8:02 pm What is the weight. Same as normal or light? Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/08/2018 02:15 am My first thought was a Dryer Coin, as well, but there is a small, central circle of wear on the reverse that leads me to believe it was spinning in another type of machine. What that is, I don't know and that damage may have already been present when it got confiscated by the dryer. It's PMD either way.

Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 12/08/2018 07:42 am It seemed to me that it had to be an error with the strike, but the Dryer Coin seems like a better explanation for how this came to be. This community continues to offer a wealth of knowledge. Report this Post to the Staff
