<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3507074, member: 84179&quot;]They are &quot;dryer coins&quot;.&nbsp; Maybe not in the exact sense that they tumbled between the drum and shell of an industrial dryer, but they either tumbled or were subject to repeated impacts over a period of time.&nbsp; The term &quot;dryer coin&quot; is a catch all this type of impact damage.&nbsp; It could be a pump, like was suggested, but since we will never know exactly what caused the damage, &quot;dryer coin&quot; is the default.&nbsp; Copper is a soft metal and is easily deformed.&nbsp;&nbsp; IMO: True Dryer coins tend to have the rim pushed into the fields, leaving a &quot;ring&quot;.&nbsp; You can see this quite clearly on your second coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this clarifies my use of &quot;dryer coin&quot; to explain a coin that was damaged by repeated impacts.&nbsp; Who really knows exactly what caused the impact but regardless, it&#039;s PMD.&nbsp; However, they certainly are not struck-through errors[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
