ncress16 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/25/2018 8:57 pm i have looked at numerous pictures of Dryer Coins and they all seem to have damaged/rolled edges. this coin has a smooth edge and only the faces of both sides are distorted. I experimented with throwing a coin in a rock tumbler....submitting one to a heat gun... the results are nothing close to the look of this coin. Who are the experts that I would consult? I'm a newby ya know. Even as a Dryer Coin I still find it an interesting piece...yeah? Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 06/25/2018 9:06 pm I think it is a Dryer Coin as well. I don't think a double sided die cap is possible. Report this Post to the Staff
ncress16 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/25/2018 9:12 pm Yeah, I couldn't figure out how a double sided die cap coin would be possible either but....we can only hope that we get that ONE special/never-seen-before/unusual coin huh? Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 06/25/2018 9:13 pm I believe it is a Dryer Coin. The cracking on the reverse from expansion kinda tells the tale. Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 06/25/2018 9:24 pm This coin definitely spent some time in a commercial dryer. see how the rim is rolled into the outside lettering, partially obscuring it? That is a common telltale sign of a Dryer Coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74770 Posts	Posted 06/25/2018 10:49 pm It's a Dryer Coin, since the rims are rolled up and smashed in. It's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint) It's worth face value, because it's damaged. You can keep it if you want as a good example. Errers and Varietys.
