Well this is certainly an interesting thread. I am looking forward to hearing a cause.

Coop's specimen displays a spiral, rather than a set of concentric circles. Very interesting.

Here is a dime with an alteration on the ear:  Raised so it was a die issue. |

That's the 2004-D "double ear" dime. It's a curved die dent.

I have 17 of these in front me. I have noticed them and drug some out of circulation and placed them in a tube. I just looked under a microscope at all seventeen. Fourteen of them appear as the OP's photos. Just a raised circle. Some of them are actually 2 very thin circles with a little spacing that appears to be raised in the middle. Three of them did not. I think that the fourteen are later die states. The three are earlier die states or maybe they are just different die pairs. These three actually have remnants of additional lathe lines that are faintly visible extending outward from the visible circle. I think that all are lathe lines.  Edited by still lookin

@BlueSolo Oops - I misspelled McGoohan. The series is in Youtube - it has quite a history (and following) ... and at least as mysterious at times as these circles. I really would like one of those where President Lincoln looks like he is in No. 2's chair. I will have to start looking for these circles now on all coins I encounter. I know so very little about the die making process - I wonder if these is a limit to how long ago these coin circles were showing up (possibly July of '47?  ) Seriously it would be interesting to see if these can be found corresponding to changes in the way dies were/are made (or not?). |

Interesting Sandy - this is way off center to be lathe marks I would think. Aliens starting to sound more plausible!  |

Thanks, that was the last thing I was expecting to see on it. With the thickness of the 9 I thought I might have a DDO on the date. |
