snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1982 Posts	Posted 11/09/2026 6:44 pm Thanks E&V and -makecents- Yup a Dryer Coin! Duh This nickel seems (to me) that it may go beyond just extreme Die Deterioration. Don't know if it would rise to the level of Detail-Erasing Die Wear (but apparently, there are only a couple Harper's Ferry quarters known with this!) https://www.error-ref.com/?s=deteri...20Die%20Wear Thanks for your help!
