Liag49 Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 05/19/2024 09:32 am Hi. Hope everyone is well. This is from my husband's jug-o-coins. I can't figure it out. At first I thought acid; but there are areas that are untouched, especially the recessed area of the monument. Then I thought parking lot victim; but it is very clean. Then I thought; ask people who know what they're talking about! Thanks. Edited by Liag49 05/19/2024 10:04 am Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/19/2024 1:31 pm The edge shot looks rounded over, so Dryer Coin is most likely. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Maine Member Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 05/19/2024 2:35 pm Indeed it appears to be a dryer cent. Never do this at home. :) Report this Post to the Staff
Liag49 Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 05/19/2024 4:08 pm I guess that's why it's so clean - and dry. LOL Thanks for the input. Report this Post to the Staff
