Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74936 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 8:53 pm This is a Dryer Coin. This is Post Strike Damage (happened after it left the U.S. Mint). Worth face value since it's just damage. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
radatat Valued Member United States 492 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 10:33 pm ok I bow to the experts. I have trouble visioning how it only occurs on one side of the coin. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/31/2018 12:08 pm Not the heat as much as the long fall from the top over and over: They could have been in there a very long time if nobody heard them in the dryer. The heat is not enough to affect the metal. The pounding on the coin is what causes it to roll over the edges of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
