Turtlerunner New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/12/2013 9:03 pm Hello All...Today a friend traded me this 2007 Washington quarter coin he got in his change for a regular quarter so he could put it in the pop machine. The coin has a copper colored wide edge around it. Can anyone tell me if it is an error or just encased in some kind of circular ring? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Turtlerunner New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/12/2013 9:38 pm Thanks for looking. I dont think its from a dryer though. The rim protrudes so much that it won't go in a pop machine. Here are a few more views: ew more views. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 4:56 pm There seems to be little or no damage to the interior of the coin, which makes it unlikely that this is a Dryer Coin. But it is a case of post-strike damage. The edge seems to have been intentionally rolled and squeezed in a mechanical device. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
