Most of the time we can't determine how a coin was damaged but that does not make it an error. If you like it put it in a flip and label it as damaged Edited by jasper62 03/28/2021 07:09 am Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19660 Posts	Posted 03/28/2021 08:00 am Early stage dryer coin--emphasis on early stage--or, a spooned cent. Try searching google for 'spooned coin'. And, watch those fingerprints. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21944 Posts	Posted 03/28/2021 09:12 am Smaller diameter and thicker rims indicates either Dryer Coin or a spooned coin but this one looks more like a Dryer Coin. Also 3.03g is well within the specs for a copper cent. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 108935 Posts	Posted 03/28/2021 10:50 am When I was young, I used to take old dirty pennies and rub the edge on the side of the sole of my sneakers - the end result was a very shiny edge with a flat sharp rim. The other thing that happened is that the coins devices on both sides were also brightened by my fingers rubbing on the center of the coin. Which does look just like the photos presented here. Is it possible that this happened to this coin? With the sharper edge, can it give the appearance of a thicker coin due to the fact that the rounded part of the edge were worn off?

The rim is way too defined to have been tumbled in a washer or dryer. It most certainly does. The first thing that happens to a drier coin is the rim flattens and "deepens" exactly like on the OPs coin. It acts exactly like spooning a coin, increases rim thickness and decreases diameter.
