I'm sure there is a term for this, but I don't know it. It has no reeding on the edge, completely smooth. The rim is significantly raised relative to a typical Rosie. His face has taken a beating as well.

I agree.
Type in " Dryer Coin" in the search forum to see many more examples.

A heavy, but smooth rim is characteristic of Dryer Coins.

My first thought was a Dryer Coin, as well, but there is a small, central circle of wear on the reverse that leads me to believe it was spinning in another type of machine. What that is, I don't know and that damage may have already been present when it got confiscated by the dryer. It's PMD either way.

It seemed to me that it had to be an error with the strike, but the Dryer Coin seems like a better explanation for how this came to be. This community continues to offer a wealth of knowledge.
