Bullnuke Valued Member United States 184 Posts	Posted 03/22/2011 05:29 am I am not the expert but it appears to be what is called a Dryer Coin. Where the coin spends some time in the fins of a dryer and the constant banging make the coin's rim spoon over (kind of like when you make a coin ring). A broadstruck coin would be larger than a normal coin as it is struck out of the collar. Kie Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 03/22/2011 6:49 pm Hi All, While the coin is damaged...it is not a " Dryer Coin". There is no way to tell who did what to it but the edge was compressed without effecting the details on the obverse or reverse of the coin. definitely not a Dryer Coin though. Thanks, Bill Edited by foundinrolls 03/22/2011 6:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
lucleus Valued Member United States 165 Posts	Posted 03/22/2011 7:20 pm It seems as though the coin was rolled through something tight on the edges and it push them in to overlap the design without affecting it. PMD? Report this Post to the Staff
