sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 09/11/2021 8:46 pm Is the rim thicker than other cents? Looks like a Dryer Coin or one that was in the process of having the rims rolled to make a ring. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 09/11/2021 8:49 pm @rose, I see what you are talking about, but with this much circulation wear, it is hard to know for sure that it isn't just damage. For example, perhaps that missing letter L was the result of a grease-filled die, but more likely at this point is that it was mechanically removed in the last 100+ years (such as from a Gumball Machine) or it is now worn into the rim.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/11/2021 8:54 pm This coin is totally unnatural-looking for a survivor of ordinary circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
rosebud New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 09/11/2021 9:06 pm sheldius, it definitely has a thicker rim. When I googled a 1917 s error coin, this coin showed up so I thought I'd check with you guys and see. Report this Post to the Staff

sirguardian Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 09/12/2021 6:08 pm The "L" is greased filled or there would be a remnant weak or strong. The status of the rim can be argued. Report this Post to the Staff
