DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 02/13/2019 8:16 pm Richfxs79: First thing: I have seen this before. In hand and under magnification. It is damaged. The letters and columns have been flattened and "bulged out" which gives the appearance of layering. The lack of a copper layer around the rim is the result of something rubbing or scraping it off. These two conditions are often noted on coins that have been stuck in a clothe dryer. We call these " Dryer Coins" Report this Post to the Staff
Richfxs79 New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 02/15/2019 3:54 pm DrDon I don't doubt you have seen something like it, but you haven't held this one. It is as described in previous posts. Not sure why it's not believable. Ok, so as I have said before it has letters on top of letters, a Lincoln face on top of the other, the monument has one on top of it also. It's not just smashed. It's LAYERED.I could pull his face off to prove my point and lay it beside the coin but why would I. I'm not trying to be disrespectful but I'm telling everyone what I have and I'm being told I don't have what I'm saying. Thanks for reaching out but I have to respectfully disagree Report this Post to the Staff

So is an error coin as you say damaged somehow? EV yes it is a damaged coin I agree with you,but you haven't held it in your hand to see what I have so stop telling me WHAT YOU THINK I HAVE!
