I have not seen this before I was wondering if anyone here has The rim is in good shape except for 4 to 5:30 and from 7 to 10:00 on the obverse The reverse shows the copper actually starting to split from 1:00 all the way around to 11:00 on the reverse. Any help is appreciated. Stewart   Edited by stewart

Was thinking Cud and lamination. How do you tell a Dryer Coin from late die state w/wear vs very late die state? |

The rims look a little inward.

I see what you mean. So is that responsible for the " Cud" and lamination? Or is it a Cud, lamination, AND Dryer Coin? |

Dryer coin. Here are a number of examples with different amounts of damage. Notice the tell tale reduced diameter and rolled effect on the rim.   Jim |

Not an error, not a Cud, not a Grease Filled Die, not a lamination- just a damaged coin that was repeatedly tumbled in a commercial clothes dryer. |

Thanks from me as well. I learned from this thread, too. I've heard of Dryer Coins, I just didn't know what the telltale signs were. Thanks stewart for the post. |

As noted , it is a " Dryer Coin" but it did not turn out this way in a home dryer:-) These fall out of peoples pockets at the laundromat when clothing is in the dryer. A commercial clothes dryer has fins on the inside that have a little gap where the fin is attached to the drum of the dryer. The coins get into the fin as the dryer rotates. Many coins rotating together in a fin of a commercial clothes dryer will damage each other in this way by the constant banging together of the coins. Occasionally, these things can be stuck inside a fin for up to six months or more. They are removed occasionally be a technician. If you ever go to a laundromat and happen to hear a kachink, Kachink, kachink sound in a dryer as it is being used, you are hearing Dryer Coins being created:-) Have Fun, Bill |
