<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clawcoins, post: 3584118, member: 77814&quot;]If you ignore the edge for a minute, and look closely at your quarter in the area outside of the yellow circle as indicated below.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956630[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>- outside of the yellow circle you can see a consistent damage of the surface including the letters.&nbsp; Wear is heavier on the edge, and becomes less prominent as you move away from the edge.</p><p>- The raised edge, which exists on the reverse, is not really present on the obverse.&nbsp; Thus something wore it down, and only on one side.</p><p>- since the wear is heavy on the obverse and not the reverse and extends into the coins circle you have to conclude what ever wore it was possibly &quot;concave&quot; that wore away the edges the most and less so going into the circle of the coin (ignoring the coin itself rotation).</p><p>- The reverse was unaffected as the wear was on the edge going to the yellow circle.&nbsp; Thus the coin never was &quot;flipped&quot; to affect the reverse.</p><p>- exactly how this occurred .. we tend to think since it was laying on one side and circular that it was some machine where the quarter got stuck in.&nbsp; and had some type of rotating mechanism.</p><p><br /></p><p>A dryer becomes an obvious scape-goat.&nbsp; Vertical dryer?&nbsp; front loading dryer?&nbsp; Commercial? Home?&nbsp; what brand, type, for how long, etc is all unknown as it&#039;s a generic term of a &quot;dryer coin&quot; based on the visual damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you ever venture into commercial laundrymats you will hear coins circulating in the drums all day long.&nbsp; It&#039;s these situations where the coins, left in pockets, fall out, bounce around, and get past the bent and damaged lint traps that never get fixed 100%.&nbsp; My old home dryer too had coins get past the lint trap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
