Comi127 New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 01/15/2017 5:35 pm Not sure what is wrong with this penny. The image and date are puffed up, same with the reverse. Can anyone tell me what this is called and if there is any value? I hope the photos are ok, I am not very good at taking pictures. Thanks Anthony Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 01/15/2017 6:13 pm to the forum! The devices haven't been puffed up, instead, they have been beat down. This happens with Dryer Coins but it is usually more pronounced. I suspect you have a Dryer Coin that was rescued before more damage occurred. Report this Post to the Staff
