Thick rim, beads gone.
It's what's typically called a "dryer coin'' or "spooned coin"
Look it up.

I agree
Smaller diameter, thicker rims = Dryer Coin
No extra value as it is considered damage.

Wel...thats an extreme disappointment. Fml
Lol


Are you positive? I mean i hate to sound like im in denial, but I do see significant differences between every example i can find of a dryer coin and my coin.

Every dryer coin example i can find has a rim that looks as if its curling inwards like a surfing wave towards the center of the coin. And they are all significantly thicker than its non-dryer coin counter part. And lastly the face of the outer rim on dryer coins have track grooves that clearly signify its time spent racing around the outer area of a dryer. Mine is smooth with no track grooves.

And i can see see the beads around the outer perimeter very faintly. They are just pin point dots nut they are there.

I apologize for questioning you. Its not that i dont believe you...its just that i had a great moment when i found this coin and thought for sure it was a planchet error.

Take a look at the photo that has all the dryer coins in it toward the start of the thread. And then look at the diagrams that shows what's going on:

I did. Thoroughly. I redirect you to my post above that says the edges are significantly different than each of the dryer coins in that photo and the overall thickness of my coin is the same as a regular penny, unlike the rolled edges of a dryer coin.

Im not saying its not a dryer coin, but those differences are clear and hard to overlook.

Edit: And after extensive investigating, this coin has identical weight, diameter and thickness as a 1980 new zealand 1c coin.

not foreign planchet
purely coincidental
no beads
thick rim
could not have been struck like that
it's post mint damage

You can call or name it whatever you want. We told you what it is and you just have to admit that you don't have a treasure.

If you new the minting process, you would realize that a coin struck in collar cannot be smaller in diameter,
even if the planchet was smaller. The tons of pressure put on the planchet when a coin is struck would spread it out to the edge of the collar making it the same diameter.
What you have is a damaged coin.
