Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74279 Posts	Posted 03/29/2025 4:36 pm To CCF! The reeded edge is worn down from circulation. It could be an early stage Dryer Coin. It's PMD, not an error. Worth 25 cents. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 03/29/2025 4:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 03/29/2025 4:37 pm It's called a Dryer Coin. Not an error, a damaged coin. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

It certainly didn't leave the mint looking like that. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 03/29/2025 6:44 pm Agree a Dryer Coin. May no longer fit in a coin operated dryer though. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10547 Posts	Posted 03/29/2025 7:17 pm Could be just "spooned" (hammered) or like stated, an early stage Dryer Coin. Report this Post to the Staff
