This one looked weird enough. Is it a Dryer Coin or planchet error. It is either worn with tapered edges and still has a rim or it was an under-sized planchet (4.68g) and received light strike because of it. Probably the first, but worth asking, just in case. Thanks.   |

 to the CCF, Paladere! It looks like your coin spent some time in a parking lot or street. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

It looks very heavily worn but doesn't resemble a Dryer Coin. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Please post a straight-on, close in pic (or two) of the rim. Often, dyer coins show rather strong rim issues, especially when viewed end-on (not vertical). Thanks.

That's a weak strike, not a Dryer Coin. Bifacial and symmetrical weakness, lack of rim design, original proto rim still retained. A well worn weak strike, no doubt, but not a Dryer Coin or a grease strike. It's possible the weight of the coin has a relationship to the weak strike, such as being caused by a thin planchet. |

I like that theory. Would a proto rimmed blank fit in the collar/chamber? John1 |

an under-sized planchet (4.68g) Tolerance at .19 grams (+,-) so highly underweight. Any chance of getting a picture of the edge compare to a normal weight nickel? |

I agree with HGK here - Nice weak strike nickel! Quote:
Would a proto rimmed blank fit in the collar/chamber? Yes it would - a just like a normal planchet would fit into the collar. |
