The deep rim on the reverse is caused by a worn die. The field has no outer edge and the letter are curved at the edge due to this.
No. Dryer coins will have an overall smoothing type wear on the rim from constantly tumbling, as well as both sides, wherever it makes contact with the spinning drum. They will also show heat damage. Use keywords and search CT for related threads. BTW, your nickel could have been a really nice variety of some sort, but with the reverse damage and 55 years of wear, any value would have been negated...Spark
Thanks i will look up CT. Yea time and what ever did the damage to the back is a lot. But it gave me something to learn more about coins.
Possibly made in the washer. I occasionally make these with coins left in pockets. High areas and rims are affected. The Whirlpool Effect.
I agree with our fellow enthusiasts. Deep because of LDS but exacerbated and damaged (maybe by the washer). It’s a spender.
@Trisia ...start a new thread for the quarter and tell us where you see doubling. Include a close-up of the doubling area of the coin...once you do that then we can give you more assistance...Spark
