Tmoney11 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Hi everyone! I am a couple months into collecting coins and have minimal knowledge (trying to learn) on most of this but was looking for some answers on a coin I recently found being a 1965 penny. I have the photos below and weight is 3.09g but I cant seem to find much. I have looked into the term “dryer coin” but with seam appearance and lil to no damage wanted to know your thoughts. All is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldhair Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Sorry your coin is worth one cent even if it's a dryer cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmoney11 Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 I figured its not worth much but more curious why the penny is more than double the normal thickness and dryer coin is all I can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 It has been spooned, google spooned coins and you will see images like your coin. powermad5000 and Tmoney11 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Hello and welcome! It looks to me like the start of a coin that has been spooned as stated by Coinbuf. Dryer coins typically lose thickness, not gain it. Tmoney11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Charriere Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) Danny Downer here. You know, if you were to really magnify this edge, I'll bet you can increase its width twice as much and market it as an seldom seen, exceedingly rare piedfort, you know, an experimental planchet that is twice its normal depth. Tip from an old-timer: you don't find ERRORS; they find you. Happy hunting! Edited June 14 by Henri Charriere Routine die polishing.
