Obviously this is a fake? Any feedback?  |

Also looks like a plating experiment?

Hmmm, thanks for the info. I always wondered about it, but would never have thought a dryer would do this much rimming. I noticed it just looked fake, even if the rim was normal because the plating is way off from the norm. Ill take some better pics & add them to this post. TY again for the info :)

Here are some more pics of the so called " Dryer Coin", except out of the 2x2 holder. The pics with 2 coins show a real Canadian quarter, whic is to the left of the poorly detailed so called Dryer Coin...     please note-->I forgot once again to take the setting off "tungsten" on the camera, which gives it a diff look overall...my bad... I'll try to get some other pics with the proper settings on the camera...(Too much biscotti) |

With all that pitting on it, might it be an acid job? Still, PMD. |

I was googling some completely unrelated material and this came up! ....Kidding....
Looks like an acid job, but I've never seen an actual coin from a drier, only banknotes.

In the 1st photo, between the #25 & cents, you can see how it tapers from bare metal to whatever coating was put on the coin. Both sides show this type of tapering & have a circle with no coating on it, or so it looks like anyways. I still think its a fake quarter.

I think it's likely real since 1977 quarters are not an expensive date and a quarter is too small of a denomination to be really worth counterfeiting.

Can you post a picture of the edge, next to a normal quarter? A Dryer Coin will have a thicker edge, without the reeding, because the metal has been deformed.
