    Mechelin Man Lincoln

    I think I have seen a puffed up Lincoln like this one before, but I can't remember what it is called or how it got this way. Your knowledge is appreciated.

          Josh is right on: dryer coin.

          Dryer Coin: A coin that has been extremely damaged outside of the mint by being repeatedly hit, similar to what would happen to it if it tumbled around in a dryer or similar device. In an actual dryer, the heat would soften the metal increasing the damage.

                  Some of them are pretty neat. I have one that I keep for reference purposes.
