okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5588 Posts	Posted 07/14/2021 8:01 pm All I can say is that it was in someone's pocket NOW, not in the 1800's. The coin looks like a Dryer Coin, but maybe it isn't. I've fished 1859 large cents out of the bottom of my washing machine, more than once. I use them as golfball markers and give them away as such.

WHO says it was in the 18hundreds? or whenever it could have been in a dryer just yesterday!! who cares when dryers were first introduced...maybe it was spooned and dried.. it could have gone through the drying cycle many dozens of times, maybe with several dryers before even being noticed that it was in some secret pocket in some pant pocket...

TheDeductible Pillar of the Community Canada 851 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 08:47 am The person who posted this coin on Facebook says Rod (owner of East Coast Coins) declared this a fake upon first glance. Maybe that's all it is? 47P7, for the coin to just go through dryer cycles while being stuck in a pocket would not create the damage this coin has suffered. That is not how Dryer Coins are created. All the same, I'd like to see this coin in hand. Cheers! Report this Post to the Staff
