Canadian 10 Cents Struck Through Cloth ? or Grease ? [Most Probably a "Dryer Coin"] [gelöst]

Hi there, I have a 1968 Canadian 10 cent coin to assess, and I really don't know if it's a genuine error coin or if it was damaged post-mint. It looks like it might have been struck through cloth, or grease, but honestly I don't know. You can very barely see the outlines of a boat, the queen's effigy is easier to see. Here are the scans :



What do you think ?

To many dings in a circular pattern, for me it's a deliberate alteration ... for what ever reason.

Perhaps it falls in the category of so-called "dryer coins"?

I think you nailed it. I'm sure now that this coin has been damaged post-mint,. It looks like it has been repeatedly run over or tumbled on itself in a machine. Thank you.

Avec plaisir!

I should have asked what the rim looks like... It's possible that the diameter of the coin is slightly smaller than what it should be.

Let’s check… The rim is raised on both sides. It would be a spooned coin, then. In any case, just a curiosity, no value I guess ? [Edit : the dryer coins have a raised edge ; it really is one.]

Indeed, no value...

More of a conversation piece...

Also, it can be used as an educational piece to show new collectors what they might encounter out there ─ and not be fooled by it.

Thank you !
