It feels like it weighs almost nothing and is smaller in circumference than a normal coin from the same year, with a very wide rim and the design doesn't fit. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. * Report this Post to the Staff

EricH Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 3:41 pm I've never heard of a Dryer Coin.. only difference is the rim on this coin isn't banged up at all just wider than normal. Thanks for the response Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24987 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 4:05 pm Definitely a Dryer Coin. No other way to account for the damage it exhibits. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
