Lol, I have spent over 2/3 of my life studying the fineries of meats and spirits aged or cured in wood. Mostly from barrels. 🤔 and of course the smoke house. Very nice coin collection box but I too would be concerned with the wood’s sap/sugars affect on the coins preservation. Maybe if the coin slots were sized to fit capsules and used for conversation pieces it would work great.

Following up on the “crack out” @Lem E post, and response I made to post by @J P M and @Sandon where I stated, in jest, that I had never spent a penny for a nickel, came to an epiphany when seeing the Crack out” post. I have not ever paid directly for a nickel but have indirectly purchased nickels in proof and mint sets allowing me to accumulate coins that I really do not collect but have to protect after the crack out from a different type of slab/package. hope you all can appreciate this in one way or another. 66-67 sms/68 to 97 proofs….

Awesome coin.

I am sure those that gave response to you appreciate your kind words. They do an excellent job here trying to help everyone see that there is a great difference between damaged and error coins, especially when the majority of the folk here are into grading coins not error hunting. I might suggest that if you would like to experience an error coin hunting only website, visit Conecaonline.org then touch forum. You will see more PMD and MD coins than imaginable with an occasional true error find. GL

Hopefully the OP, Josh isn’t offended by this pun or stretch/play of the Id used in their post? (joshin ?) or take it as neg accusation of intent. 🤔 it will be interesting to hear @Joshk1990‘s response to all of this. I for one vote that it will be, “all is good”

I’m fairly certain josh (the OP) got an answer for the request. I see nothing in the responses that should be taken personally, the responses were of the coin not the poster. You can’t let the two meld together. The sarcasm is meant in humor and from an understanding of the processes. so josh keep sending in the ? value questions if you got ‘em. I know in the end of all responding, you will have your factual answer, most responses here extending from the knowledge of years of experience. Learn from all responses. I would suggest also that you utilize the NGC Price Guide under the resources tab for further verification.

What do you think @Hoghead515, having just rebuilt your dryer, how many places can a coin come into contact with moving parts after leaving the rotating drum or between stationary and moving.

What if the coin were to be on the end, not the side. Would it tumble/roll the edge of the coin to the outer drum?

I appreciate this post, one for sharing the info and 2, having taken on this same dryer overhaul a couple of times, understand that it is a bigger job than most can imagine. (Did not find coins) it’s to bad that while you had it tore down you could not have built a catch pan/tray to just pull from time to time to collect the eBay and Etsy treasures your dryer produces…lol.
