1975 D penny. What do I have here ? 0

[Alex Kaminski]

Hey guys ! Still very new to collecting and my co workers know I’m into collecting cool coins and what not. So they found this for me today. And I haven’t seen a strike that was ever this deep in a penny before. On both sides. It covers almost all the perimeter words on the heads side. Along with a decent amount of the obverse. Couldn’t really get any great pictures. Let me know if you could !

Thanks everyone.

Looks like a Dryer Coin.

You would be able to get larger images of you cropped your pictures before posting. All that background is unnecessary.

Adjusted. Thank you ! What exactly is a dryer coin 😯

[Greenstang]

Much better pictures.

A Dryer Coin is a coin that was caught in the workings of a dryer and the continual spinning reduces the diameter of the coin which increases the thickness of the rim. If you put your cent over a regular one, you can see how the diameter is reduced.

Sweet ! Thank you. It is slightly smaller. And has about twice the thickness comparing to a normal penny.

That pretty much confirms that it is, in fact, a dryer coin. Do a little searching for pictures of some of the examples that have been posted on the web. Some of them are extreme.

It might also be early stage of a spooned coin, due to it appearing slightly out of round. Just a thought.
