ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19126 Posts	Posted 06/22/2022 07:26 am I'm thinking spooned also, or possibly an early stage Dryer Coin. I'll go on record as saying spooned. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95018 Posts	Posted 06/22/2022 08:04 am I would have said Dryer Coin IF there was damage all over the obverse (and reverse) observed. So I'll stick with spooned.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/22/2022 10:58 am The 1973 cents normally have the higher rim and stronger detail I feel this is from the normal strike that seems stronger. (Possible answer to the Machine Doubling seen on the 1968-1972 cents) So the rims are normally taller. But this looks like it was damaged and the edge is thicker, from the reduction outer diameter. Have ever it was altered, it is now a damaged coin. Spender. Report this Post to the Staff
