Spooned Coin 0

Found this spooned coin. How often does this happen and is it worth anything. I put the grades as circulated fine.

it is only worth face value as it is damage. It happens quite often, and do not be surprised if members line up claiming it is a dryer coin.

I'll be the first to say that is an early stage dryer coin. It is worth one cent. If they were worth a premium, I would throw all my change in the dryer.

Why does the OP think this coin has any added value; and how can a "grade" possibly be assigned?

[Asked because I'd like to understand the OP's thoughts on these subjects.]

The post topic indicates "spooned coin".  From a cause and effect basis spooning a coin and a typical dryer coin are both similar in that they experience prolonged gentle pressure along the rim edge.  The result being a smaller diameter coin with a wider, fairly even, rim.

For the record, I'd expect a spooned coin to have a better condition on the obverse unless it started out with all the scratches already.
