Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/13/2017 9:54 pm No, don't think so. All 68's head motto close to rim, when rim wears it loos like that. Also, have noticed plachets seem thicker on the 68S, think rims stick up a hair more, must be planchet development? I had a coin, clad quarter that I tossed in a bag of tokens to consign. Thought a kid had taken a hammer and gone around the rim curling the inside copper layer over. Was size of nickel but 1/4". NOW that was a Dryer Coin, had no idea at the time, oh well, live and learn! Here's what mine woulda looked like: some more: Edited by Crazyb0 03/13/2017 9:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Potbellypub Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 03/13/2017 10:25 pm Thanks cwb! Crazy I it wasn't the rim as much as the bust. I know the rim gets thicker on a Dryer Coin but it is mainly thickness in the bust eyes sunk way in everything thicker and deeper . Like a capped die would look except the other devices are fine . And that quarter would have been sweet ! Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 03/14/2017 05:28 am It just didn't spend a lot of time in whatever beat it up. You can see the rounded battered look about the profile and other devices on both sides. It could have been in a dryer, rock tumbler, or just some other machine that rattled it around, but it is showing signs of a repeated bumping against something. Report this Post to the Staff
