Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 11/11/2018 12:18 am It could be a Dryer Coin. Can you post an image of the edge? Report this Post to the Staff
Rollhunta Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 11/11/2018 12:59 am Here is the edge of this second coin, the first one was separating at the rim. On this one the edges are curled in towards the center covering the wording on the edges of the coin and it's the size of a dime. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34458 Posts	Posted 11/11/2018 05:31 am @RH, with the smooth rolled over edge, this is most likely a so-called Dryer Coin. You can use the search box in the upper left hand part of your screen to find many other examples of this phenomenon on CCF.
