I found a double capped die error roll hunting. Not sure what to do with it? Do I grade? I want to sell. I don't know much about what I have. I hope I have terminology correct.

riz36 New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 11/15/2023 7:40 pm darn... I see these selling on ebay but only one side, not both. So it that why it is called a Dryer Coin? Darn- I though I had something here. :-( Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95655 Posts	Posted 11/15/2023 8:54 pm The chances of it being a double die cap are astronomical. Compare this coin to a normal one and you should find that it is slightly smaller in diameter due to the tumbling it took in a clothes dryer. Collecting since 1972.

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 11/15/2023 9:10 pm With this amount of smeared metal , I'd be surprised if it isn't underweight. @riz can you please add the weight of this cent to the thread?

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/15/2023 10:30 pm Sure looks like a Dryer Coin. Report this Post to the Staff
riz36 New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 11/15/2023 11:11 pm well, I looked up Dryer Coins and it is debatable but not out of the question. This coin weighs 3.08 within range. So, I will put it with a lot of strange but true coins. LOL thank you all for your expertise. Report this Post to the Staff
Root River Mint New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 11/16/2023 12:50 pm a double die cap would require the collar to be missing during the strike along with many other problems. also, the design elements are still the proper size and not reversed as a die cap should have. Post mint damage is the only answer. Report this Post to the Staff
