Also, for future reference, it is very helpful if you post the front (Obverse) and back (reverse) of your coin to help us determine what is going on with your coin.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/24/2018 01:57 am They are definitely damaged. I am also leaning toward Dryer Coin because of the way the rim metal is folding over onto the field. That would not be a symptom of an acid bath.

If they were damaged in a Dryer, then the weight would be normal. Either way, they are spendable and worth one cent each because the are now circulation coins. Report this Post to the Staff
