I don't think so. Looks like a Dryer Coin. Or possibly spooned.

Im not trying to be rude to anyone. But if youre not savvy in this area, please dont reply. This is a legit coin that came this way from the philly mint. A dryer wouldnt shrink the coin and remove the ripples entirely. A dryer also wouldnt take letters off, or words for that fact and leave the rest intact. Ive researched this coin and have yet to find another one anywhere in the world.

Ive built custom cars for 20+ years. How do you shrink metal ? This most certainly left the mint this way.

Quote: Im not trying to be rude to anyone. But if youre not savvy in this area, please dont reply. That's fine with me. You came to the best coin forum on the internet and shared a coin, presumably to get the opinion of your peers. That was rendered and you reject it. Good luck. Just wanted to add: The words Dryer Coin automatically become a link (thank you developer magic) and you can feast your eyes on many other examples of coins that were damaged in this way.

If I wanted an opinion from my peers, id take it to a car show and get advice. I was looking for a pro to give advice. Its struck on a Nickel planchet, thats already been determined by a coin shop. Value however couldnt be properly placed because of all the errors and another one hasnt been found to reflect an average price/ value. So, I know the coin is real. Came this way from the mint. The dealer told me if anyone said Dryer Coin, to walk away. Pics do change the actual color of the coin. The bronze looking pic is more to its true color.

I respectfully suggest you use the search option at the top of the screen to see how Dryer Coins and spooned coins are made. You'll see examples of each and can then choose which most likely caused the damage to your coin.

If it is struck on a nickel planchet, why does it show copper? Why does it weigh the same as a quarter instead of a nickel? All things a grading company will look at. It is a damaged quarter. Sorry

 I am not a pro. I am a hobbyist. I collect coins and learn about them just for the fun of it. So you can ignore my opinion as you have the others. First of all, this site is dedicated to educating collectors and we're all here to learn and share what we know. Posting that your coin is clearly not a Dryer Coin without any explanation about the differences you see doesn't help anything. If you have spotted a difference, please point it out. The people who replied to your post did so to be helpful. Second, my advice is to look at some quarters that were struck on nickel planchets. Here's a link. https://www.fredweinberg.com/produc...hets/page/2/ Click on one and study the rims. You can study all of them but you'll notice that the rims are all similar on these certified coins. Third, just because somebody owns a coin shop doesn't make them an error coin expert.
