shathe Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 06/02/2021 7:35 pm wondering what went on here. any info/ideas? very thin layer of metal running all around the edge on the obverse, the edge of the coin is smooth all around the coin and has no reeding. (hard to take pics due to the fragility of the metal layer.) Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 06/02/2021 8:52 pm I think that @john1 most likely nailed it as being an early stage Dryer Coin. We often see flattened areas in the middle of the coin and metal "smushed" over from the edge onto the fields near the rim.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21640 Posts	Posted 06/02/2021 9:28 pm When you say loose, do you mean the outer ring? If it is, it might be encased in some sort of a bezel that has been soldered on the Obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10047 Posts	Posted 06/02/2021 11:20 pm Nothing in the minting process would produce this. Therefore, whatever caused this, its post mint damage and adds no value. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

IsThisAnything Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 06/03/2021 12:50 am Jimmy, my first thought was a bezel. One that the reverse would rest in and pressured into place on the obverse, causing the damage. Report this Post to the Staff
