Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 1:56 pm @james, having the ridges worn away along the edge with the rim more pronounced is indicative of mechanical damage, such as with heavy arcade game, slot machine use, or especially being a so-called Dryer Coin.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21633 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 1:58 pm Can you take a photo of both sides laying flat on something. It may be a Dryer Coin but need to see photos of the whole coin. Also put it on top of another quarter and see if the circumference is smaller. Report this Post to the Staff

I posted the photo withe the others on the original post Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 10:31 pm Be careful of handling coins you might think have numismatic value with your fingers. Oils from you skin can damage the surface of your coins. Inexpensive cotton gloves can be bought anywhere hobby supplies are found. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
