LouLou78 New Member United States 0 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 04:32 am Hi I'm new too this site. I'm LouLou78 from AZ. So while looking through some of my change that has caught my interest I came across what looks like a dime EXCEPT... it's not reeded and the rim is deep. Note I remember watching a video on YouTube a while ago about a dime on a cent planchet, but I can't find anything about it when googling it. So I was wondering if anyone else had either seen one, has one, or knows anything about one.... it's a 1994 D dime not reeded smooth around and the rim is very different like coin is sunk in but not as if someone purposely did it or just went through the ringer, yet more of a look like it had been this way from start. Can anyone help me figure this one out? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Usually, larger denominations are used because of the amount of material needed. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 1:43 pm I agree with the Dryer Coin hypothesis. The reeding has just been worn flat.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 3:07 pm Some may wonder what we mean by Dryer Coin. It is not the home units that do this, it is the commercial units that alter the coins. From that much of a fall it is like someone hitting the edge of the coin with a spoon. The home units don't drop them from that high of a fall. The longer the ride, the more damage to the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
