If you want to start a collection of Dryer Coins, you can keep all of the Dryer Coins you find, and assemble a coin collection album. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Don't know if I will actually start collecting them but it did take me 2 years to actually find one. @Earl - It was your post that I referred to just to make sure - Thanks http://goccf.com/t/143863 Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 06/21/2018 12:56 am It wasn't what I expected for some reason. I could tell there was something different with it just from picking it up. It seems all the ones I see here on the posts are really ugly, this one is in decent shape considering the life that it has had. I hope you all find one as well - just one of those oddities that it is nice to have one of (IMO) Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 06/21/2018 01:44 am I'm no expert but I'm not sure it's a Dryer Coin. To me it looks like someone started spooning it and gave up. If you search for "spooning coins" and click images, you'll see quite a few Roosevelts that look exactly like this. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/21/2018 01:50 am Is there a distinguishing characteristic between a spooned coin and and earlier stage Dryer Coin? I don't know.

Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 06/21/2018 01:56 am The spooned coin that I saw was less smooth on the edge--more "faceted" than evenly deformed like our so-called Dryer Coins.

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 06/21/2018 02:16 am Yeah, I don't know, I'm just raising the possibility. If you click Dryer Coin the ones I see with such an exaggerated raised rim look a lot more thrashed than this one. If you were meticulous about spooning I don't think the rim would be very "faceted" - after all, they make these into very nice rings. Clearly it's either spooned or dryer, unless there's another option I'm not aware of! Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 06/21/2018 07:09 am Definitely a Dryer Coin. Spooned coins are done to make a ring out of a coin. With a dime, once you spoon over material it would be too small in diameter for even the tiniest fingers. Here's a video that explains the spooning process: CSsHWJr5DS0 Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Edited by chafemasterj 06/21/2018 07:12 am Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 06/21/2018 09:15 am Thanks for all the great feedback. I really don't know how to tell the difference. Early stage Dryer Coin or spooned? I can say that the rim is sharp on both sides and that it is still perfectly round. I don't see any dings around the edge. The only device that seems to be effected is the bottom of the 4, don't know if that is even a factor because of the Die Deterioration. Note: It looked like the rims on the spooned coins were more rounded. @chafemasterj Thanks for sharing that video clip - it was really interesting.
