MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 03/08/2017 8:59 pm Wife got this in change. The coin weighs 2.3g on my scale. The edge looks thin and rounded as well...see pictures My 1st thought was this was done by a grinder, but after seeing some other drier coin pictures I am having second thoughts. What do you think? Grinder or Dryer? Thanks again...Mont Report this Post to the Staff

A grinder would have taken more high surface all over, VERY hard to get the even edge on grinder, I'm used to one, don't think I could duplicate. Now, that said, could have been a belt sander but most likely a flat fan belt, but still, more high points would have been affected. Dryer or similar rotating machine, belt fed coin machine is my #1 pick Report this Post to the Staff

A Dryer Coin would have the rim rolled inward, not removed completely This is why I was thinking grinder when I 1st saw it. It it my understanding that Dryer Coins still have their rims. Quote: I am thinking dryer or rock tumbler Wouldn't a rock tumbler leave a more even wear pattern? Report this Post to the Staff
