Chizin Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Is this a dryer coin? Or has anyone seen anything similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Holmes Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 It’s a 2001 Rhode Island state quarter. Heavily worn, worth 25 cents. Chizin and Fenntucky Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dprince1138 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I would say that the coating is an environmental condition, such as time on a limestone cliff and heavily worn. Chizin, powermad5000 and Mike Meenderink 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dryer coin is a very good possibility and would be my reply. Sorry for the ridiculous two replies above mine from the forum troll, he is a nuisance and is not trying to be helpful just a problem.

JT2 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 looks like a fountain coin with a lot of pool acid on it dprince1138 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 To the OP, please ignore the posts made by dprince1138 as he has been incorrect or off topic on just about every post he has made here and is only trying to paint himself/herself as an "expert" to self promote his shady coin flipping business on Etsy/eBay. That said, I would lean towards a dryer coin as it looks like the rim of the obverse started to wear down as well and a little heat got to it. There is a thread on the newbie section here from not too long ago started by one of the excellent members on here @Hoghead515 about dryer coins and what he found when he took his dryer apart. We learned there are many different levels and types of damage that occur, so that makes me stick to my response of dryer coin in this case.

dprince1138 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Sure are a lot of confused people around. Comprehension seems to be limited. "Look how dirty and corroded these coins are. They're from a cavern wishing well. Many were actually encased in limestone." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one here that seems confused is you. And your comprehension seems to be non existent. Your "limestone" wishing well coin photo has coins that look nothing like the OP's coin. And railroad coins also have nothing to do with the OP's coin either. To the OP, once again, please disregard this individuals commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P M Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 To me it looks like a beach coin found in the surf. Constantly back and forth in the salt water and very fine shifting sand. This coin may actually be from a beach in Rhode Island.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the Rhode Island quarter, the reverse of which was designed by Daniel Carr of Colorado, whom Roger Burdette insists has 5th grade art skills. In fact, if this coin WAS intentionally damaged, we may have an initial suspect in dear Roger. powermad5000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
