[QUOTE="Kurisu, post: 8283419, member: 117063"]If only "dryer coin" was an attribution?!! Then we could REALLY get into it! Should I get some scope images? Maybe see if I can get it on the PCGS sniffer? ...I can tell by the angles of the swirls and the shape of the edge and which details were left on the drummer's face...that it was most certainly stuck in a Whirlpool Imperial Spin Dryer. Which is nice, because Whirlpool spun coins hold a higher premium than say Kenmore, Maytag, or even Frigidaire (GM). I've been able to determine that about late October 1978 when the coin originally fell out of a pair of red corduroy bell-bottom pants, it was somewhere in North East Indiana. It was then recovered in 2016 when the dryer finally broke down and was found by the great great grand child of the original coin owner when their neighbor, Bob, came over and opened the back. The 8 year old went to the corner store and promptly bought a Hershey bar with it. The coin had been making it's way to Denver ever since :pompous:o_O[/QUOTE]
