thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 09/07/2016 11:00 pm no, that's what happened..either that or it is a Dryer Coin. in any event it is damaged as the only thing that's not a possibility is this being a real error coin.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 09/07/2016 11:10 pm That's what we call a "spooned" coin. Dryer Coin will show some wear on reverse and obverse surfaces as well. It has been struck repeatedly around the rim, thousands of times, with a hammer or other suitable object (even a spoon will do the trick). "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 09/07/2016 11:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 09/08/2016 09:56 am Hey Ryan google "spooned coin" or "how to make a coin ring" it has all the tell tale signs of being manipulated after being circulated ( PMD = post mint damage) Quote: Its far too uniform for that, that's not a possibility what do you think is the cause then?
