<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jonny oneal, post: 2416884, member: 70367&quot;]last week i found a dime and a quarter that went thru the washer and dryer. both were damaged by uniform reduction of the rim to the point where is looked as if it never existed. another factor was the same damage to both obverse and reverse sides and the &#039;erasure,&#039; if you will, of the minted letters on the rims of each coin. my wife pointed out the washer/dryer connection to both coins and settled that for me. </p><p><br /></p><p>the response of using a spoon while in prison to produce the effect on this coin is odd in that my career was being a criminal defense attorney specializing in post conviction appeals. i went to way too many prisons and spoke to way too many clients who discussed all things under the sun. many knew of my interest in coins and not one mentioned it. i think one would have. but, hey, it could be a thing but please explain the physics/mechanics of making this happen tapping with a spoon. thxnks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
