Not a dryer coin. But it was altered by someone. Only the person who did it would know how and why. Even why they put the notch into the edge....
Received this in change. I've read comments on other coins stating it's a dryer coin, is this what has happened here?[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
For the record, acid removes metal and reduces its weight (mass). Dryer coin repositions metal and will not reduce the weight (mass).

This is what's known as a dryer coin. Look for photos. Either in the search box here, or Google. They will match. If the coin is much smaller and...
The rim is still intact so I don’t see it flat around the edges, hence, not a dryer coin. The entire coin does have the look of being dissolved,...
Keep it up. The more you look at, and the more you read the better you will get. None of our members woke up being an expert on anything. It comes...
Looks like it was in some form of acidic environment. Some might also say it's a dryer coin.
