strech15 New Member Canada 20 Posts	Posted 03/21/2011 8:55 pm while looking through change I found an odd dime from 2002 with little to no beads on the obverse which is quite strange for a Canadian coin. I was wondering could this possibly be an error? http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums...lolerz-1.jpg http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums...1QQcurrentZZ http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums...=lolerz2.jpg there are some faint beads on the upper left had corner but the rest of the rim is beadless with a few blotches of the metal. http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums...300754876812 the green line shows where some faint beads are and the red circles show where the blotches are can anyone explain this to me or tell if its an error created in the dieing process?

Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 03/21/2011 9:46 pm I believe that it's a "dryer dime" the outer edge gets caught between the rolling rim of a dryer and the outer drum and turns the outer edge in toward the center basically obliterating the edge and covering the beads/denticles as the metal rolls up. Edit, I'm assuming but I can't see the coin edge... is it rounded? In any case, it's post mint damage imo. If you search "dryer dime" "dryer quarter" and so on you will find threads here discussing this particular damage. Edited by Ugly 03/21/2011 9:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
