Texas66 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 11/15/2025 6:27 pm Ran into this one going though the thousands of pennies in the buckets of coins I've save over the years. Hard to tell how many strikes this took. Interesting one. Report this Post to the Staff

Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3170 Posts	Posted 11/15/2025 6:32 pm Unfortunately, it looks like a Dryer Coin. Edited by Tunnioc 11/15/2025 6:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Texas66 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 11/15/2025 6:37 pm It looks some what like a Dryer Coin, but the rim is not thick, it is doubled though, not as bad on the back. Edit to add The close up on the mint mark looks like a stack of stikes. Edited by Texas66 11/15/2025 6:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19118 Posts	Posted 11/15/2025 7:34 pm I'm thinking Dryer Coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Texas66 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 11/15/2025 7:41 pm Checked here, doesn't seem to have the characteristics of a Dryer Coin -> https://adventuresincrh.blogspot.co...re-they.html The rim is not wide and there is no way to account for the multiple ridges on the date, mint mark and other lettering. The only way for the rim to retain its thickness would be the second variety of Dryer Coin which would smooth out all the features, not stack them, Edited by Texas66 11/15/2025 7:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24148 Posts	Posted 11/16/2025 08:50 am It's not an error. It's Die Deterioration, post-mint damage, and an early-stage Dryer Coin. A double-stuck coin is double-stuck everywhere, not just in one area. But if you feel the need, send it to PCGS for a $75 lesson that you're getting here for free. Shop CCF Members on eBay.
