JJR1983 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 05/24/2013 1:16 pm I am new to this forum, so thank you to everyone in advance for any help that may be provided! I found this half dollar while going thorough some of my old coins. I do not know much about different mint errors, but there is clearly something off about this coin. Broad strike? I really do not know and would really appreciate some input. There is a significant ridge around the perimeter of both sides of the coin. There is no milling whatsoever. The coin weighs 11.2 grams and is a few mm smaller in diameter that normal Kennedy halves. I have provided the best photos I could on short notice. If there are additional photos or info that would help with ID please let me know. I probably have nothing, but it would be great if I had something! Again, thank you to anyone who can be of some help to me, it is much appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

I think someone rolled it somehow for that effect - there are better error experts than I who can confirm that. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10051 Posts	Posted 05/25/2013 6:14 pm This does remind me of a Dryer Coin, but over the many years of my grandfather having laundromats and keeping all the Dryer Coins he/we found, we never got a half dollar for some reason. I would yours was someone spooning it to make a ring. However, just b/c his laundromats (over a 30+ year period) did not produce a half dollar Dryer Coin does not mean it could not have happened.
