steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 04/28/2009 5:31 pm Is the edge of the coin beveled all the way from obverse to reverse? Meaning, is the largest diameter of the coin flush with the surface of the reverse? I'm going to say it is not a Dryer Coin. Report this Post to the Staff

I have a couple of these.. and had to post the same question, as well I'd like to see what kind of encasement does this sort of damage -- I only see them after someone has broken them out, and they are in this condition.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/28/2009 8:03 pm The rim is the key. It is distorted from the pressing into the "GOOD LUCK" Or whatever holder. On a Dryer Coin the edges are rolled over. Report this Post to the Staff
