CaptJeffWorthFL Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 06/07/2023 6:13 pm I found this hunting a box of quarters and it caught my attention so I set it aside to look at it later under magnification. I would not even post this if it was an obvious Dryer Coin. The thing that made me post this is that there are no obvious scratches in a circular pattern on the obverse and the reverse looks perfectly normal as well as the rim and edge are there. The coin does weigh only 5.49 g but if you look at Washington's bust by his neck it doesn't follow the circular shape, the top of his head is also not following the circular pattern. Take a look and let me know what this may be, and thanks ahead of time for the input. Report this Post to the Staff

As an engineer I cannot see how someone could precisely smooth out the areas or should I say would. Kind of like whoever spoons coins. I could never figure what would possess one to waste time doing it. I don't even know a logical reason why lol. Usually seen on 1965 quarters. Report this Post to the Staff
