DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 09/21/2015 5:02 pm It's called a " Dryer Coin". Coins that get trapped in a dryer drums track will show this kind of wear, there are of course other ways this kind of wear can happen. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

colonialtokens Pillar of the Community United States 840 Posts	Posted 09/21/2015 9:50 pm The typical distortion to the rims is not evident. For the design details to become so weak, one would expect severe rim roll-over. Could this possible be a very weak trial strike or some such alignment test strike. I do not know, just inquiring. doug Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 09/21/2015 10:13 pm No Doug... look where the device legends are relative to the rim, and also the deformation of denticles/beads. There is no photo of the edge, but the poster says it is smooth. The only way that could happen would be if the collar die was removed/disengaged, which would result in a broadstruck coin with a larger diameter than normal. This coin has been manipulated, by either machine (dryer) or man (spooning).
