Hey guys i found this coin today it has no rim on reverse,what type of error would this be.The 1966 quarter is just for comparison to the 1992 coin.
I have reason to believe it was a duet washing machine "error" (this means that we believe that happend because it was in a washing machine or dryer)
How many times does it have to be said before it sinks into your brain? A dryer coin would not produce an evenly beveled rim like that. It was probably "spooned". Remember that, just like when your mother used to feed you..........spooned! Chris
as a mother of boys....I have washed coins, sometime over and over... and no dryer would do that and dryers, I would assume, could not get that hot to alter a coin. If so, the sound would get one running to the dryer for the noise...Where did this idea of dryer damage coins come from??
I'm just curious . Why does about everyone on the CT forum always call the beat up and rounded edge coins dryer coins? I always call them spooned coins because some of them were spooned by prisoners and folks with idle time on their hands. would they all look the same or would the spooned coins look different. I know that some of the spooned coins has the thin metal flap coming way down below the coins rim and pressed tight against the field of the coins..
Well Chris definitely thinks this one has been spooned. PMD is the most common thing to see when it looks like something happen to coin post mint. Coins trapped in side a comercial dryer would look different to coins trapped beetween the drum and outer drum case of the dryer.
I know the difference between the two. The spooned coins were usually the larger coins so that by the time the edge was spooned in was still large enough to make into a ring. Get it? A dryer coin could be of any size coin, it rolls around and around until it is removed.
