Title: 1999 20c
Post by: b_j_w_79 on April 25, 2016, 02:05:15 PM
Here is a another coin I found that I'm not sure about (i.e. not sure if it's a shed job). I'm not sure if the pictures show it but the edges of the coin are raised and there is no reeding on the coin. Anyway I'd like to hear what other think.

Sounds like what others have named a "dryer coin"
Rolls around and around in something (eg clothes dryer) until the reeding is worked flat and the edge gets wider.
