ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19189 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 4:41 pm We may be looking at a Dryer Coin. Some Dryer Coins do not immediately suffer from dramatic rim folding/reduction. Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 4:54 pm I agree on Dryer Coin, or something similar. May have been caught in some type of machinery, or even spent time in a tumbler. Metal detectorists sometimes tumble coins to clean them up before putting them back in circulation.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 5:34 pm I have never tried to reproduce an error coin such as this , but I suspect that it may? have been made by heavy hammering the coin flat between two pieces of thin metal. Report this Post to the Staff
dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 5:58 pm Not a capped die. It would have what's called a "bottle cap" shape to it. There was a hit on the "T" in cent. The whole coin looks very, very worn. I don't see anything that even remotely indicates bubble lettering either. The "B" in Liberty looks like damage too. It could just be the photos but, not a mint error. Sorry. A coin like that would jump right out at an inspector on the line, even if it would make it that far.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96936 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 7:24 pm The likely hood of a double sided die cap is a wee bit low of ever happening - like miniscule. This coin probably had a lot of help with the wear we see on it. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
