ChristyJ New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/24/2015 10:24 am Newbie here, so hello everybody! From what I've read I think this is a weak strike error. I'm far from being a coin expert though and was hoping to get some opinions on the specific error type and possibly the value of the coin. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 02/24/2015 10:52 am I agree with John1. It's not a mint error. The pattern of design weakness/absence and the puffy letters of MONTICELLO point to post-strike damage/alteration. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
ChristyJ New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/24/2015 11:10 am I've never heard of a " Dryer Coin" before but I Googled it and I think you guys are probably right. Thank you both for the replies. So you're from Michigan John? It's hideously cold outside here today. I went outside around 7am and I thought my face was gonna freeze off. Stay warm!

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12854 Posts	Posted 02/26/2015 02:05 am I feel like I'm looking at an x-ray of a nickel. Thanks for posting...unusual and very cool. Am I looking at a nickel where the softer material (i.e., the least compressed when pressed) was worn away leaving the "bones"? Report this Post to the Staff
