Not the greatest picture, the extra rolled edge is zinc center is copper and the letters are all visable still the center of the coin appears thinner than a normal penny but is exactly same size as a penny no reduction , both sides are like this and its been heavily circulated when looking under scope there's no spooning outer edge or dryer tumbling the outer edge is still copper . I'm stumped never seen a coin close to this as all others show spooning or rumbled appearances ...help appreciated ..

 to CCF. It is called a Dryer Coin. Coin gets stuck in a clothes dryer. Use the search box upper left of page. John1  |

Nice try though not a Dryer Coin all the copper would be smashed off or rolled over and this coin measures perfectly on a micrometer to exact size and weight no outer damaged edges ..didnt you read anything ? This coin is thinner than normal though |

Also there is no detail on the coin it looks as if it was all rubbed off from wear ... The zinc would be exposed on oiter edges of coin like all other Dryer Coins I have seen this on is exactly perfectly sized aaaand you can still see the outer rim under the extra zinc ..see photos I tried to show a comparable penny but the forum wants cropped pics and etc makes it real difficult to use this forum as half the time it doesn't work ... Again , there is no outer rim damage and the micrometer measures exactly with any other penny except a dryer penny which is smaller in diameter ..next |

It appears it was in a tube when pressed ..all copper is still on the coin its been worn off in some spots from circulation , I acquired it at a Duncan donuts and even our local dealers are stumped , as I suggested could it be a Dryer Coin and all rejected that idea as it's measurements are dead on and there is no rolling over of the metals off the edge because the edge is still intact under the extra zinc and copper ...I thought pressed dead center or something caused this at a shop or similar... Can you figure it out , we are stumped and it doesn't match our collection of Dryer Coins |

The forums image optimizer works great as well as the upload function. Obviously you can read so it may be an issue with your comprehension skills and/or your ability to follow directions.
If I'm not mistaken, you said it looks as though the detail was rubbed off from circulation and it appears to have been pressed through a tube.. So, maybe it was pressed through a tube and the detail has been worn off with circulation..

didnt you read anything ? with that attitude I will only give you one more thought and will no longer respond to your posts. It is some kind of PMD, like a bezel applied to it...just a thought. Good luck with your search  John1 |

Welcome to the Forum!! Mysteries abound. That first picture really shows what you're talking about. How strange. I'm going to go with PMD of some sort. I can't picture a situation where it came from the mint like that. I'm a novice so take my opinion with a grain of salt. |

If it is heavier than normal, then it might be something on the coin? (if more than 3.11 grams)

AD, I have wondered about similar coins I have found CRHing. The common theory of course is a Dryer Coin, but I too have disagreed and lost my lunch with this crowd before in disagreements. Here's some that I have found, the edge with rim is affected and curled over. My theory to how this may happen is in the last diagram...go figure. It's not settled exactly why tho.   BTW, This diagram is patterned after the small sorter at the second dump bank to refuse to take my coins anymore after thre amounts I dumped kept breaking their machine. These are areas that coins "disappeared" into, ya know those not counted ones?  Final thought: whatever did this did wrap the plating back exposing the core, it's amazing to me the edge rim is still intact, must have been adhered well in the plating process! Edited by Crazyb0

I see where you're at Crazy but his is different. See how his copper has been disconnected at the very edge of the rim then rolled, pushed or smooshed inwards. See how it's been done in increments, the straight line segments..
