Not sure about this 1961 D Nickel

Can anyone give me any information. Is it a Dryer coin? The rim slightly cover the date and some letters.

No ma-am. That is a spooned coin. I may have even been guilty of creating that one in my formative years. Tap a spoon around the edges of a coin enough times and it draws the rim up like your nickel. Do it enough times then drill out the center and you have yourself a homemade ring.... The things we did before we had internet gizmos.....

 

thank you for the info

 

Quite welcome. Welcome to the forum. There's still lots of cool coins out there begging to be found.

 

I should try this on my lathe ... would be a lot quicker than tapping it for who knows how long ...

 

Doesn't take that long..... Well if you are twelve anyway.....

 

I think I'll try it.
Although I'm going to use a hammer rather than a spoon.
And then swear up and down that it must be a mint error.
