2011-D-Nickel-Inscriptions-Don't-Fit-On-The-Coin,


The finish on this coin caught my attention and then noticed the lettering doesn't fit but is cut off by the rim of the coin. Was wondering if this is a coin worth keeping or is it a common error? Not a collector and new to this site and looking for advice/input. Thanks.

You have a Dryer Coin. Not an error. Just damage.

It looks like a Dryer Coin. If should be smaller in diameter and have a wider rim.
The constant rolling in a clothes dryer is the cause.

Please always show a clear photo of both sides of the coin when posting.

Not an error but a Dryer Coin.
Put it on top of a regular nickel and you will see that the diameter is smaller
from the rims being pushed in. No extra value as this is considered damage.

If you are not familiar with Dryer Coin terminology, it is a PMD (post mint damage)
