Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 04/08/2024 01:07 am to the CCF! Your coin looks like a Dryer Coin. It's a normal copper platted zinc cent that got stuck inside the workings of a drum of a clothes dryer and tumbled until it was smoothed and part of the copper was wearing through. It's just Post Mint Damage. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 98472 Posts	Posted 04/08/2024 08:16 am no, not minted on a dime planchet - first clue would be that it is copper OVER a silvery color (the zinc core) Not the other way around (a copper core Under a CuNi top layer.) This is a zinc coin that got badly abused and sanded and reduced in size. Way back when I was a wee bit of a lad - we did this to mimic a dime to get pop from old vending machines. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin 7070 type set coin count: 51/76 Uncirculated American Silver Eagles My American Silver Eagle Proof Collection Sacagawea Dollars Innovation Dollars Eisenhower-Dollars Kennedy-Half Dollars Washington-Quarters Roosevelt-Dimes Buffalo-Nickels 1938-2005 Jefferson-Nickels Lincoln-Cents Report this Post to the Staff
oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 04/08/2024 08:53 am That is creative Dearborn to get a soda. When soda machines sold bottled soda the necks faced outward towards customer, it was easy just to get a cup and use a bottle opener to pop the cap and fill your cup for free.
