I just checked my pocket change. Only 1 dime to check. 2006 with the same groove. Funny enough, I think VERY few people actually inspect the 3rd side ofthe coin.......good eye wert.

Yes a Canadian Dime.
Just recently also found a 2008 Canadian Dime with the same grove I'll see to adding photos in a little while.

Hi This fault (line) is common on the 10 ¢. The cladding layer on top denticles or is the line is altered and any concave. My conclusion is PMD. Photos of the same piece with different color tones.  |

Good pics castor...My only concern is your pictures of coins have the line below the denticles and mine looks like it has been done after the fact....Mine looks like a mini lathe cut the line all the way around.....  |

As I said before I believe the groove is imparted during the rimming stage,I can't imagine any post strike proccess that would require the pressure needed to cut the groove.IMHO not PMD. Maybe we should send someone to tour the Winnipeg facility to find out for sure where this is happening. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Almost a good idea DBM....You are in B.C. and I am in Ont. You are closer....  Seriously, maybe I (or someone) should write to them to see if they recognize the oddity and shed some light on it...Very strange...! |

Hi WERT
Lines are not in the bottom of denticles, they are on top of denticles.

Hi DBM
The denticles are molded during the strike by the collar die and not during rimming blanks.
If it was during rimming, you would always see full line in the bottom of denticles, which is not the case.

I guess the question I have is that has anyone found this phenomenon on coin from original BU rolls, and not circulation coins?

I know what you are saying castor, but the picture you posted looks like the line is like what you would see on pearling of a nickel dollar around the beads...Mine looks like a groove, or am I just being stupid....?
SPP, I will check out my mint sets to see if they have the same oddity...?
