Is this the dreaded "dryer coin"?

Going through some uncirculated commemoratives and came across this.

What makes you think it is a dryer coin? ~ Chris

 

Pic. 1...?
Pic. 2...?
Pic. 3. Looks like lamination issues.
Were these in your dryer? Haha.

 

It's some sort of damage but not a dryer coin.

 

It was just an assumption on my part because of the circular scratch type marks between the text and the heads

 

It's damaged. A dryer coin would be completely different looking.

 

Dryer coins from CRHing...vary rare!!! Lol...

 

Nice collection of dryer coins Mike!

 

It actually amazing how often I come across them CRH

 

If I didn't know better I would have thought that you repaired dryers for a living. Lol

 

I just realized how many of these I have found in my pockets while folding laundry... the worst part is that I didn't know that was from my dryer. I am so ashamed.

 

You should be! At least you learned something tonight. Most dryer coin get stuck in the revolving part of the drum against the non moving part. Sooner or later they break free.

 

Looks like someone has been really busy trying to make some fakes

 

The dime (last photo) looks like damage from a disk sander rather than a dryer coin.

The Zincolns don't look like dryer coins either. If they were, I would expect to see thickening of the rim rather than it being worn away. ~ Chris

 

why would someone make fakes? You don’t really think that they are rare do you?

 

@cpm9ball I’ll dig them out for some more photos so you can authenticate for me...

When I find one I just put it aside.. it may or may not be. I have a few that I don’t think is real..

Is it considered a real “dryer coin” or abnormal pmd junk?? Lol

 

Mike corrupt people are allways trying to alter coins then they try to sell them as error coins for big prices. Sometimes a newbie collector get's robbed in this way. Altered coins are worthless IMO
