coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/17/2014 01:06 am It was struck like that The devices are rounded over. Same size as a normal cent? Report this Post to the Staff
Agrippa Pillar of the Community United States 663 Posts	Posted 03/17/2014 01:24 am Yes same size. Looks like its blurrier in the middle and get clearer toward the outsides by the rim/rail. Report this Post to the Staff
7TF Pillar of the Community 743 Posts	Posted 03/17/2014 02:23 am It sure looks like what others have called Dryer Coins to me. Report this Post to the Staff
7TF Pillar of the Community 743 Posts	Posted 03/17/2014 02:29 am I have one like this and it is from the same year. I will try to find it again. Hopefully I am wrong about them being Dryer Coins and it really is some kind of error. Report this Post to the Staff

Agrippa Pillar of the Community United States 663 Posts	Posted 03/17/2014 04:01 am Nope, no dings on it at all... Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 03/17/2014 09:04 am It's a Dryer Coin. Both faces have been pummeled into mush. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
Waxemm Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 03/17/2014 09:41 am Wouldn't the edge show just as much wear as the faces if it were a Dryer Coin? The edge looks normal to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 03/17/2014 10:07 am I notice the edge is sitting on top of USA on the reverse which means it was rolled by the dryer. imo Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 03/17/2014 11:31 am I'm going to blame it on the lighting.. my first impression was Dryer Coin but I couldnt see all the little dings due to circulation wear I guess. Report this Post to the Staff
