moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 09/16/2017 6:32 pm A mystery that probably won't be solved. Just plain old damage. Report this Post to the Staff
WheatBackPenny Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 09/16/2017 7:15 pm Someone probably ground of part of the rim. Definitely PMD. Also, if you click on the link for Dryer Coin, you can see what they really look like. Often times the rim is smushed into the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
PennyPride Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 09/16/2017 8:11 pm But the rim is really think on one edge, with no separation line (of a second collar strike) Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/16/2017 9:01 pm The coin has been smashed into most likely a hard flat surface such as a concrete floor. Looks like under a pallet in a warehouse, got ground in. These are Dryer Coins: Report this Post to the Staff
