Looks like a slight Greaser, plus circulation wear and tear as well. Errers and Varietys.

Very curious. Part of me wants to say Dryer Coin. A close-in, end-on pic of the rim might tell us more. |

There's such a surreal look to it, are you sure it's genuine? Those coins are faked in Central America because certain countries use U.S. dollars in circulation. Is it 8.1g and a clad sandwich on a copper core?

the rim looks to be abnormally big to me, maybe due the excessive wear on the devices or grease.

I did a reply, and it did not load here. I hope I did not post it on someone else's post. Good thing it was not inappropriate. I don't think the coin is fake, but I could be wrong, as I have been many times. It does look creepy and goast-like. Here are the rim pics.   Edited by Darabi

Look at the ear piece. Do you see the crying baby? even more creepy.  I am gonna keep it, just because I like weird stuff. Wouldn't spend money certifying it for one dollar value.   PCGS #9585 is really cool. https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/...708621569314Edited by Darabi

That's a clad sandwich, so looks like it's a genuine dollar coin. Just really beat up. My bet would be on PMD smoothed out by circulation wear, but it could obviously be a Greaser, too. |

By all means, keep it as a fun curiosity.

With the condition of this coin, I'd say just circulation wear. Maybe someone's pocket piece for the last 10+ years.

With how little circulation these tend to get, it's unusual to find very worn coins, but I've come across a couple that looked very similar. I do wonder if they were circulating around places like Ecuador that uses them heavily, and then found their way back to the states.

I knew US notes are used pretty much everywhere, but had no idea US coins are circulating abroad. I learned something new. Thanks. I found a couple of greasers, I thought they were chasing me. This poor girl has had enough running around. It is now out of circulation and resting. |
