It's very important to have in the title. * Hello, Just wanted to introduce ourselves. My name is Colby & my wife is Gwen. We are full time RVer's & currently are in Arizona. We mostly collect Morgans we have had 1 full complete set that we had once we first started collecting. We ended up selling almost all of my dad & grandfather's coins. We ended up getting ripped off by the coin shop in Tempe Az but we lived and learned. We have now started over and are also collecting Walking Liberty & Kennedy dollars. Pretty much all of the pre-1964 coins. We have some coins that we are trying to figure out what they are. Here is the first one. It is a 2016-d Penny but looks like it was done on the wrong blank. We are not totally sure. If anyone has some type of information that would be amazing. Also if the pictures are not the greatest we can email them to someone & we can increase the KB. Thank you, Colby & Gwen Report this Post to the Staff

tyr4nt Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 04/04/2024 8:01 pm Quote: Textbook Dryer Coin. Aren't these also called "spoon coins?" Anything hitting lightly over and over can do that rim damage pattern, right? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/04/2024 8:08 pm Gcmc070714, . You may want to work on posting a bit better photos in the future. The better the pics you post the better we can help you. tyr4nt, sometimes they are called spooned coins,but I think a cent or a dime is too small to make a ring.Also,on spooned coins the edge most times will look hammered not a smooth surface like a Dryer Coin will have.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96735 Posts	Posted 04/05/2024 08:03 am Yes they can be called 'spooned' as well. But I usually only call a spooned coin if the edges are very smooth and uniform - not all randomly beat up all to heck like this one. Collecting since 1972.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/05/2024 08:25 am Quote: But I usually only call a spooned coin if the edges are very smooth I think the opposite. A spooned coin should have a "hammered" look not smooth. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96735 Posts	Posted 04/05/2024 08:38 am @Gcmc070714: Additionally, coin are not struck on blanks - they get struck on Planchets Blanks are fed into an 'upsetting mill' and a proto rim is added to it, and then is called a planchet.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/05/2024 12:30 pm Quote: Additionally, coin are not struck on blanks - they get struck on Planchets It's the equivalent to someone calling a cent a penny, a blank and a planchet. There is a difference in both situations. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
