tdkard28 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/26/2019 3:00 pm At work today, I came across something I have never seen before. The edge on this dime seems to have vanished! I know about errors that basically have a flat edge, this is not that. The edge seems to be missing entirely and the middle of the coin is a bit deeper than your average side. It almost looks like a trench around the outside of the coin where the two ridges on the sides are the obverse and reverse of the coin, both completely smoothed down and clean. I will take some pictures to attach here, I have no idea how else to describe this. I just can't attach those pictures yet since I'm at work. Does anyone know what I'm talking about in the meantime? Edit: Pictures have been added. This doesn't look like the Dryer Coins shown in other images. Edited by tdkard28 07/26/2019 4:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/26/2019 3:26 pm Sounds like a Dryer Coin. When they bounce around in side of a commercial dryer, the edge flatten on the coins inside of the dryers. The longer, the more damage happens to the coins: Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 07/26/2019 4:50 pm Looks like an acid coin. Looks like acid has eaten away at the copper core as it is a softer metal than nickel. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/26/2019 4:50 pm That is acid damage. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34411 Posts	Posted 07/26/2019 8:46 pm @tdkard28, first welcome to CCF. Second, as I read through the response to your post, I could see exactly where you added the pics of the coin. Having those images definitely helped us help you to know that your coin spent some time bathing in acid.
