segarvie New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 06/30/2021 03:27 am I'm new here to this forum and I'm trying to find help figuring out what this error is. I can only read the 20 in the date so I'm not sure what the whole date is. It seems to be missing the edge on both sides. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas about this d3 error?

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19216 Posts	Posted 06/30/2021 07:39 am Yes, post strike damage. Perhaps spent some time in the inner workings of a laundromat dryer--known as a common Dryer Coin. Didn't leave the mint striking chamber in that condition. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/30/2021 10:14 am This coin will be under weight as it is not a Dryer Coin. It was sanded off the coin. A Dryer Coin would probably have most of the original weight. (Damage doesn't remove it, it is just hammered inwards on the coin in the dryer) Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19216 Posts	Posted 06/30/2021 10:51 am Could be ground down intentionally, yes. A couple years ago a trusted bank teller I've dealt with for some time showed me a collection of various US coins deposited by a laundromat owner/operator (long-time account holder at the branch)--many had the classic ' Dryer Coin' look we know and love. Some--not that many--looked just like the coin featured in this topic. The operator had brought in a pile of coins pulled from the interior of dryers. The few ground-down examples were lodged in the dryer apparatus in a way that yielded the reduced, ground down look. Lot's of variety in numismatics. Love it.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/30/2021 1:26 pm I agree, either a Dryer Coin or one that was intentionally ground down. Either way, post mint damaged ( PMD). Report this Post to the Staff
