With the current pics, I will stick with Dryer Coin. Keep working on you pics, they need to be clearer to be able to help you more.

The extreme puffiness in the devices is usually one of the telltale signs of a Dryer Coin.

Here is a closer example to what your coin exhibits.

The thick rims are from tumbling in the dryer, the puffiness is from the heat. I think the owner of this site explained it one time as the coin being caught under one of the fins in the dryer, so it did not tumble but still got the puffiness from the heat it was exposed to for a long period of time.

We need better images of this coin (in good focus)
But, I may lean towards circulation flattening on the devices.

Agreed, a Small Date and a possible Dryer Coin.

What Dryer Coins are you talking about? Public dryers or mint dryers? Coin laundry?

Alright dough, I have to be done with this, you are not paying attention, don't care or messing with me.... Work on your pics, I might be back on your threads, I might not, probably not.

The mint doesn't use dryers for clothes, so they are referring to the other two.

Problem here is some people only read the title of each post. If you want to know if your cent is a large over small or vice versa just use the search box (upper left hand corner) type in what your seeking and several post will pop up with photos that you can compare coin to. Because with the quality of your pixs I can't help answer it for you....

Good Luck

Dough101,
Might be an early-stage clothes Dryer Coin, but whatever it is it is not a mint error it is PMD.
Also,I do not think heat from a clothes dryer has anything to do with the puffy looking letters/numbers. Maybe intentional damage like beating it with a hammer and a piece of leather? Kinda the same way you make a Texas Cent,just a thought.

I like odd and unusual coins. They either have value or something else. However, the coins need to be real. Natural occurring errors etc. from the coin mint; it cannot be from la la land or Timbuktu. @John1, I am extremely new to these games. The only way I can play these games is to play with clean hands.
