Hey there fellow coin enthusiasts! Its been a minute since I have been on here. I hope you all have been doing well. As of right now there has been no news on the coins that were stolen from me. But everyday I still hope. You never know, right? It really broke my heart and I just didn't have it in me to bother with coin roll hunting. There has been a friend that I met on here that I keep in touch with via phone calls. He passed on you guys concern and well, wishes. I thank you so much for that. And you know who you are my trusted friend! Thank you for all the support and friendship you have given me. I truly cherish you! So I have began hunting again. I finally can look at a roll without crying, screaming or feeling my stomach drop out. Also, I have met a local coin hunter who knows way more about coins than I have learned yet. Its really nice to have a second opinion on hand and someone who shares the passion locally. I pack up all my gear and head over to his house. He set me up my own little spot and away we go. He is a dedicated "crackhead" or coinhead as I like to call him. Jumping into with such a fervor that its contagious. Our last session turned into an all-nighter with time going so quickly that it was 4:30 am before we had even realized! lol He is into quarters, dimes and nickels more so than pennies. Me? Well I am still stuck on hunting pennies as I continue learning about coins and the minting process as well as the errors created from it. Anyways, he came across the picture that I am including here and wished that I would post to you all to get your opinion on what this is or could be. So, once again if you would please put aside all thoughts that he has found the next great coin worth a million dollars, and comment on what you think happened here. Any comments are welcome. You all, if you remember me, should know by now that I come on here to learn about coins and seek more expert people to learn from. I guess you can say I am back! lol I didnt even realize how much I missed you guys As always, Kris
Sorry Kristine, this looks like a dryer coin. It could have been produced in any home or laundromat from Bangor, Maine to San Diego, California…imo…Spark
Welcome back! Looks like someone flattened a dime but the beveled edge does not go with that opinion. I'm not an expert on dryer coins but I've never seen one that looks like this one. I was not there when it happened BUT the coin was definetly damaged after it left the Mint.
Welcome back Kris. The coin you postage is damaged I’m sorry to say. I hope you’re doing well and I know how you feel. My ex stole my entire collection along with everything I had as a child or inherited. It really hurts but that was 20 years ago this year. I have another coin collection that’s bigger and worth more now. I get eat lots of enjoyment from it so you’re doing the right thing. You took a break and now you’re getting back into something that you enjoy.
You're right, I think I remember this one just kidding of course. And yes, Spark is right. But continue to look and collect!!!
