Willyp87 New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 11/16/2019 07:32 am Found this penny while coin roll hunting, I believe its a 1976 D with the coin weighing in at 3.10 grams. There is still a lip around the coun but the design is just all blurred out. What is everyones opinions? Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 11/16/2019 08:12 am I agree: it's a Dryer Coin. Such coin damage is rarely found in Australia. Why? Coin operated laundromats are very few and far between in Oz. Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 11/16/2019 09:37 am I would have called it an acid coin. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/16/2019 1:36 pm Dryer Coins will retain their normal weight as the coins design is moved around with nothing removed. Acid dipped coins will loose weight as the metal it eaten away with the acid. Can be considerably lighter the longer it is left in the acid. Some acids are common events. Soda, salt and Vinegar, salsa, pickle juice and Ketchup. These are milder acid. Straight acid really alters the coins. Report this Post to the Staff
