The edges seem to be to perfect to be a Dryer Coin. It is in AU condition also so I would imagine any Dryer Coin would be beat up badly.

I also have a coin like that, I think what you are saying by spooning is (well in my case) someone was making a ring out of a silver dime.

that doesn't look like a Dryer Coin, that looks more like a coin rolled on a surface with high pressure pushing down on it repeatedly as it rolls to flatten and widen the edge.

Spooning, correct. I have done it a number of times with quarters and they always look just like this.

As a matter of fact, check out my very first post on this forum, a year or so before I really got into coins. Kinda embarrassing!
