Peaceman Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 02/01/2013 5:30 pm Not sure what kind of error this is. Note the full rims, the letter/divices as you get closer to the middle, the large Cud, etc. (Click on pics to make them bigger) Edited by Peaceman 02/02/2013 12:28 am Report this Post to the Staff

OddCoins Valued Member Canada 271 Posts	Posted 02/01/2013 7:00 pm Dryer coin. Is it possible that it is a real Cud? And if so, would it even have any value in that condition? Report this Post to the Staff

Peaceman Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 02/01/2013 8:00 pm I'll look for the coin I set aside that shows just one side like this. The next time I do laundry I'll put one in the dryer and another in the lint catcher to see what happens... I assume everyone feels "heat" is the issue. Does copper do this to the outside of the coin first and work it's way towards the middle effectively melting it? I weighed this one (gn) as compared to a normal 1980-D and they weigh the same. Does anyone have a picture of a coin that was made at the mint where the machine was set at a very hight pressure setting... or are pressure settings something that is a constant. Nobody feels it could be struck with too much pressure? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 05:07 am Peaceman, It's not the heat that causes that it's friction from the coin getting stuck in the fins of a "commercial" clothes dryer not a standard home type dryer. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
still lookin Pillar of the Community 967 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 09:20 am I don't really think that the heat has anything to do with it. Metal has to get hot enough for it to have a dull glow to it before the metal starts to soften. Report this Post to the Staff
Peaceman Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 2:37 pm Wouldn't the rims on both sides then get the grunt of the friction first... Sorry for all of the questions... :/ Report this Post to the Staff
