Mita302012 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/03/2023 08:03 am Ok so I don't collect coins but will if I find them so bare with me. Coin had just felt different from my other coins while counting drawer. It's thicker than the others no ridges and it looks good. So was wondering if this should be the first coin I collect or not worth the time and if it's worth what should I do to keep it worthy to build value. Thank you so very much for your help.

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 06/03/2023 08:32 am @mita, first welcome to CCF. Second, your dime has mechanical damage, which has caused the reeding to get worn away and flattened. This might be a so-called Dryer Coin as noted by @keith.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6458 Posts	Posted 06/03/2023 08:55 am Will a dryer do so little damage to the surface, if it does that much damage to the reeding? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 06/03/2023 10:30 am a Dryer Coin or a spooned coin. Quote: Will a dryer do so little damage to the surface, if it does that much damage to the reeding? yes, depending where it gets caught in the dryer. If it rolls around the drum instead of tumbling, then just the edge will get affected. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
