Hey all, is this considered a dryer coin? I've heard about them, but never held one... look like it may be.
Opinions?

Re: 1977 Dryer Coin?
Looks like one to me as well. Some people think dryer coins are coins that clank around forever in a dryer. They are coins that become stuck (usually) between a frame member and the drum. The coin doesn't move, but the rotating drum just keeps polishing away at it is the way that I understand, because I've plucked them out of mine, but theyt are usually stuck on the edge of the rim lip and rotate around what evers in the dryer.

Re: 1977 Dryer Coin?
Thanks! It's slightly underweight and size, and the rim is completely flat... it feels neat to hold actually. I'll file it away in my odds and sods!
