coin finder momm New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/09/2018 8:35 pm odd penny found. its thicker and seems heavier than a normal penny. sides are thick making center look inlaid. reverse side building columns appear ridged and squared. copper appears to be chipping and warn. my son just sized with a dime and is the same size in circumference. seems all the pictures I have are too big. so the above pic was the best I could do after lots and lots of frustration. but any thoughts on this odd "coin jar" penny would greatly appreciated! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/09/2018 9:12 pm It is a Dryer Coin, meaning it got caught between the well and drum of a commercial dryer and the rim was beaten down. http://goccf.com/t/143863#1298466 to the forum! Edited by Crazyb0 03/09/2018 9:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 12:56 pm Dryer coin. Note the obverse and reverse faces. They show damage there. If it was spooned it would probably not show damage on those areas. People who try to make coin rings usually use silver coins. Report this Post to the Staff
