Hinkle Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hi everyone, is this considered a dryer coin. The rims looks ok and the reverse looks good. It almost looks like trust has two U's. But when I see coin's like this I automatically say dryer coin. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxie15 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 to me it looks like it is a well circulated cent struck from a worn die that may have been very slightly misaligned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKurtB Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Maybe spent some time in moving grit of some kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbbpll Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 "The reason the Mint changed from what collectors call a Large Date to the Small Date is because zinc does not strike up like copper or a predominantly copper alloy. The Mint struck the copper hard and fast but quickly learned in 1982 that the strike was not satisfactory on the coins minted on the copper-plated zinc planchets." from https://www.numismaticnews.net/article/rare-1982-d-small-date-copper-found. I wonder if this coin is evidence of the problems they were having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinkle Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 See, I told everyone I would find that cool unique one. Just kidding. So it probably being a MAD, or evidence problems in that year, this should be a error and worth saving right. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
