Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 07/13/2014 07:04 am to CCF, 200dumbarton! No, it isn't a Dryer Coin but a cent that has been ground down to the size of a dime. A Dryer Coin should have mushy devices and raised rims. Edit: I am not a grammar guru, you know.....:P Edited by Matteproof 07/13/2014 10:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

Socal SilverHunter Valued Member United States 183 Posts	Posted 07/13/2014 9:10 pm It still has the value of a copper penny though! I would still keep it. Report this Post to the Staff
solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 07/13/2014 11:18 pm Save it for the copper value. Or just toss it onto the ground. << Like not Okay, just spend it... _________________ Let me give some information planchet. It would have to be the same planchet as they use for dimes. Dimes aren't made of copper like Lincoln Cents are. They're just clad coins which mean they have a layer of copper inside of them. Think of a cookie filled with cream inside while the outside is different. Edited by solotime 07/13/2014 11:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
