[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 4034239, member: 84179"]A dryer coin refers to coin that gets stuck between the rotating drum and stationary outer drum of a dryer. It 's the tumbing, not the heat that causes the damage. I suppose any environment where a coin tumbles and hits larger objects could have the same effect. Here is a link from error-ref that provides some detail. [URL]http://www.error-ref.com/dryer-coins/[/URL] There some good diagrams in the CT archives and [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER] has even posted pics of some coins he received from a laundry repairman. If you look at the OPs coin, you can see some of the folding over of the rim into the the tops of the letters and the other letters a flattened in all directions. Also note that the rims and some high points appear silvery, and if the picture color is accurate that could indicate missing plating (from tumbling). That's why I believe the coin is damaged. Hope this explanation helps[/QUOTE]
