coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/16/2022 6:05 pm Looks like a Dryer Coin to me. Note the rounded rims. Measure it with another quarter. It will be smaller and thicker than a normal quarter. The coin was altered. Not a cull and probably won't be accepted in a vending machine. Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2961 Posts	Posted 04/16/2022 6:06 pm Yeah, it should be the size of a nickel if it were struck on a nickel; it may have been part of a bezel. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21646 Posts	Posted 04/16/2022 7:00 pm It's too heavy for a nickel and nickels are an alloy. Your quarter has been clad just like a regular quarter. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/16/2022 7:51 pm I do not think it is spooned. A spooned edge has divots and this edge is smooth. Dryer Coin, maybe. Not an error in any advent. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1658 Posts	Posted 04/17/2022 04:42 am Clearly not a nickel planchet with the copper clad showing on the edge! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/17/2022 2:13 pm To show that quarters do reduce in size in a commercial clothes dryer. Look at these examples: Report this Post to the Staff
Herestohoping Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 05/02/2022 10:28 pm But the one I have looks new don't look anything like the ones in those pics sorry for the late response Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/03/2022 9:00 pm The longer the ride in the dryer, the more damaged the coin becomes. Your coin took a short ride. Same thing happened. Not a mint error. Just PSD. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97917 Posts	Posted 05/03/2022 9:23 pm still think it is a spooned coin, someone took great care to keep it as smooth as possible. (I can see slight dimples on it.)

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19229 Posts	Posted 05/03/2022 9:25 pm I tend to agree with the spooned assessment. And of course, we're looking at a clad coin, so it can't be a nickel planchet. If coins could talk. Report this Post to the Staff
