Okay this is not a Dryer Coin for the last time there is no variation in size or weight... is there any chance in the world that this could be a caped die on both sides that's all I need to know because I know that this is Struck Through Grease if not. There's no material missing the measurements are with intolerance and there is no striations indicating something removed the copper coding

It's STILL damage, no matter how many pics you post.

Please explain exactly how this happens during the minting process.

1. Dryer Coins don't lose material, it is just displaced.

2. Your diameter is 18.8214 mm, normal is 19.05 mm, which explains the rolled edge, even if it is still in tolerance.

Send it to PCGS today. If it comes back in an error slab, I'll reimburse you. Coin's in your court. If you're right you have nothing to lose.

I had a favorite teller at a local bank where I'd pick-up lots of rolled coins--mostly cents. That particular branch serviced the accounts of a couple coin-op laundromats. She told me stories of coins which would come in after being dug out of dryers. She showed me some of the more extreme examples, as well as many cents which looked much like Fresh Find's example. With that, I remain in the Dryer Coin camp.

Now, it must be noted that Fresh Find has the coin in-hand and can examine it under a myriad of conditions. All we have are a few static 2D photos. Suggest submitting the coin to a reputable 3rd party grading/variety/error assessment service, and please share the findings. Thanks.

My friend you were wrong twice a Dryer Coin does lose material as it wears it down and two the diameter of a Lincoln Cent is .75. So given it is only 9 hundredths of an inch the copper coating is not even that thick which this coin still has on the Outer Rim if you look at the pictures so this coin is with intolerance. And a Dryer Coin doesn't get material displaced especially towards the inner part of the coin which is where the copper coating that is missing from the lip of the edge is if you look at it that is not dirt and the lettering and banner and everything is enlarged.....
All right you'll have a good time this site is the joke nobody looks at the information presented to them with any kind of logical mindset they're just full of assumptions and lack of factual knowledge.
Some of you should take a little extra time and actually look at the pictures I posted and read what I said and maybe do a little reading up on the subject because I have
