SwtNCosmic New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/30/2025 10:37 am Hello. I'm new to coin collecting and just starting to learn some of the key things to look for in various coins and so forth. I figured a forum would be a big help for some coins I came across recently. Also, to find out if it would be worth getting them graded. The first ones I'm interested in getting input about are 3 unusual looking Lincoln Pennies. They have a gritty feel to them and none of them have full dates on them. 2 of them have 198 for dates and partial mint mark(D I think)the third has a very faint 19 for the date and no mint mark. Greatly appreciate everyone's helpful knowledge. Report this Post to the Staff

It looks like a Dryer Coin, and that is probably most likely, but the weird rim also makes is look encased in a bezel.

Second, if you can supply weights for these three coins, we should be able to tell you if they are Dryer Coins or encased in bezels. Thx.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73857 Posts	Posted 06/30/2025 12:57 pm To CCF! They all look like Dryer Coins. They aren't errors, just PMD. Not worth slabbing, as they're just worth face value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
