Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 07/30/2015 07:54 am Is the penny smaller in diameter and/or thicker than normal pennies? Report this Post to the Staff

ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 07/30/2015 7:12 pm I see this all the time on Canadian pennies, I am unsure why it is done; this spooning, but its not a mint error, it is PMD 100% sure. Report this Post to the Staff

Dennman Valued Member Canada 496 Posts	Posted 11/13/2016 11:42 am I can see the remains of the denticles on both sides.They show above the rolled over "spooned" edge in a couple of places. Report this Post to the Staff
oindarwin New Member Australia 37 Posts	Posted 04/14/2017 08:10 am can someone explain what a Dryer Coin is in relation to australian pennies Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 04/14/2017 7:20 pm A Dryer Coin is one that has been in a clothes dryer for a loooong time. The edges eventually begin to roll inwards and look a bit thicker. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
squaremealroundplate Valued Member Australia 185 Posts	Posted 04/14/2017 8:37 pm It appears as though someone placed the penny in a vice and used an engineer's 2nd cut hand file, going by the many very fine lines around the rim of both sides. The penny could/would have been slightly "squeezed" so that the vice can grip the penny without it rotating too much while being filed. This is a very feasible theory while wearing my engineer's hat. Those many very fine lines on both sides of the rim look like filing marks. Report this Post to the Staff
