1967 with error and spooned

I found this one in circulation, The edge is very thick, and the inside flats very thin, concave in both faces. Is this double eye, motto and date, DDO o Die machining deterioration? "I didn't clean yet"

Well just by looking at your coin i guess my coin is spooned. i'm an error collector, but haven't done that much research on these types. i don't think you could come across an authentic one of these in circulation by looking through bank rolls. I have been looking through rolls for forty years and never came across one. i think the only way ,is to get mint sewn bags from the mint and search them. i still don't understand where alot of these major error dealers get these coins. i went to a site Fred Weinburg a major error dealer ,and he must have at least 39 of these for sale in his inventory all different off metal coins/ well i yhink i'm going to invest in those mint sewn bags from the mint/ the only thing with that you have to pay over face value and it could be for a 100coin quarter bag 32 dollars ,so your paying about 7 dollars more over face value which isn't that bad to search for major errors ,and fun to boot.I think you have die deteriotion doubling the letters look mushy .

When a coin is spooned the material is relocated somewhere; if the edge of your coin "was not cut off" at the flat faces, then your 1957 dime is an authentic error from the mint.

 

here's the photos again
Jazzcoins joe Thanks alot for the help:thumb:

 

Flat faces are, oberse and reverse; if the thickness of the edge is similar to the thickness of the center flats. Then you have an authentic mint error. Check also the coating on all the edge.

 

one more queastion can you tell if its authentic by the weight of the coin. what is the weight of a rosevelt dime silver one

Jazzcoins joe:whistle:

 

2.50 grams by the official red book.

 

The 67 is spooned but the eye is very interesting. i don't do much with Roosevelts but it does look to me like it may be a doubled die with the way that eye appars doubled. Looks like complete separation with two eyelids. Unfortunately even if it is, any value was destroyed by the spooning.

 

I think your coin is to uniform to be spooned, it's more likely damaged from being in a clothes dryed for a period of time. IMHO

 

Which coin are you talking about the 57 Rosevelt or the 67 Rosevelt. Well i would think if it was in a dryer for a long time ,it still wouldn't look that uniform would it?

Look what I found in the reverse of my 1967. At least 2 letters overlapped the edge. Check your 1957 for the same fact. The polished coating in the rim also is the same to some cents. Now I'm more close to believe is Mint error.

 

Hi,

I wish I could get the planet to forget about spooned coins other than larger silver coins.

These are what we call "dryer coins" they simply get stuck in the fins of a commercial clothes dryer at your local laundromat. They tumble inside the fin sometimes for months at a time until a technician opens up the fins and gets them out.

The tumbling action damages the surface and rolls up the edges onto themselves.
That's all this is. No spooning involved.

Thanks,
Bill

 

Bill
you and I are beating our heads against the same wall!

 

When a dime is 0.069" thick all the edge around, and the inside flats Oberse-reverse is 0.045" There's a clear Spooned coin. The question is When and Where that happen?

 

The term "spooned" relates to the process by which jewelry is made from coins.. There was no intent of that here as a dime treated in this manner would be too small for the intended use. This coin has taken a lengthly trip in a clothes dryer and nothing more. the proper term is "damaged".

 

Let me ask you a simple question as I've seen dryer coins first hand coming right out of the dryer and , others here likely have not.

If a coin is spooned as they used to be to make a ring. What nut is going to spoon a dime or a penny. When it was done, it would be be too small to fit on anything.

Silver coins , in the past were spooned. Nobody, spoons pennies (cents), nickels (because the metal is too hard) or clad dimes , quarters or half dollars for the same reason.

If it was the case that a penny or a dime was spooned there would have to be evidence of a completed ring made from one somewhere on the planet and guess what?

There is not a single one known. Logic and common sense plus experience says that these coins are not spooned, never were, and never will be. Arguing with people who don't know what a real spooned coin is or what a dryer coin is doesn't make much sense. These coins are in fact "dryer coins" no matter what anyone wants to believe.

Nothing else makes sense.

We go around this circle every time we have newer members of these forums find one of these. It doesn't change the facts though.

Thanks,
Bill
