I have held on to this as a stuck threw grease error. But after looking closer at it and the rim.... Could this Bye chance be a double capped die? The rim is The same on both sides. What is going on with the rim? It is not dirt Or glue it seems to be the copper lamination. And the devices are far too spread out for this to be chemically altered.    |

@fresh, with that rolled over rim and highly worn central designs, this looks more like a so-called Dryer Coin to me. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Check the diameter with another cent, if it is smaller, then it is a Dryer Coin. This would have no premium as it is considered damage. |

No this is not a Dryer Coin there are no striations to indicating so all of the devices are spread out three to four times their original size the coin itself is normal size and thickness and waight of 2.5 the way the copper plating is rolled over almost gives it a Cud look |

It's a damaged cent, not an error. It's PMD. Errers and Varietys.

I agree it has the ear marks of a Dryer Coin, (even if you disagree) it is still a damaged coin. |

Well so is everybody telling me that the dryer melted the coin then and that's why the lettering is 2 to 3 times as thick as what it should be ? I've got 20 to 25 Dryer Coins I know what Dryer Coins look like this Edge on here is not rolled it is the original Edge just like the coin pictured next to it and the copper coating is scrunched in on the inside of the rim it has not lost any of its circumference. Would posting pictures of the edge of this coin and picture of the measurement with calipers and it on a scale help? I don't see where everybody's seeing any straight striations or anything indicating that this was caught in a dryer or a coin operated machine or any of those which indicate that it would be a Dryer Coin other than the copper plating being rolled over somehow to the Inside Edge of the Lincoln Cent while leaving the original Edge fully intact with no where or scuffs or dings or anything |

Fresh Find, these coins in the picture below are known to be "Dryer Coins, the rim edge of these coins is similar to yours... These coins did not roll but lay flat between the tubs...
