So I stared at it and stared at it (after a long day at work) and couldn't figure out what was different. So my 8 year old comes up and says 'Why does this have the smooth rim of a penny? And the color?' And all I'm thinking is 'I'm rich!! woo-hoo! rare error coin!'. Anyway, now that I'm grounded again, thought I would post these photos. :p Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 07/21/2014 11:18 pm Cool story and I think your right on with spooned or Dryer Coin. I would say the 8 year old earned him or her self a partial finders fee? Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 07/22/2014 12:17 am Report this Post to the Staff
Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 07/22/2014 12:59 am I've tried hammering a quarter into to make a ring out of it, and I'll tell you it doesn't work like that. Getting the edge smooth and all is very difficult while hammering its edges. So, from the mushy devices and the even edge and high rims, I'd say Dryer Coin for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
