It is hard enough to find a coin with a single error. What you have is not an error, it is called a Dryer Coin. Thick rims and smaller diameter are the telling signs. Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 02/08/2025 12:53 pm @Finder1; Errors refer to something as being part of the "Minting Process" of a coin. This coin shows all Post Mint Damage, meaning absolutely nothing to do with the original creation of this coin. Edited by Tacc 02/08/2025 12:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
