Weak strike maybe? Looking at the rest of the coin. The tops of the leters of liberty seem weaker near the rim.
The coin looks real nice till you put some magnification on it.
Could be damage, but I would think something besides just that spot would show it.

NOT WORN DIE! Weak strike. So much for experts...LOL.
PS Next time you send coins to a smaller TPGS like SEGS,ICG, or ANACS include your dime with a note: "Please tell me what you think about the date on this coin for my education." I know FOR SURE that at least two of the above services will do this for free. In fact, I know FOR SURE that one of them will look at it for free, and call you about it as long as you pay postage both ways. Try it and learn something about the difference between design weakness due to worn dies or weak strike. Then let us all know what happened...Wink!

My second was weak strike too. I say that because all the features around the rim roughly the same distance are flat and "weaker" the higher more central points are just as strong.
I could have seen it as damage if the abnormality was in a single spot, but it seems consistantly weaker around the rim. Look at the B on both liberties, or the top of the T on both liberties. You'll see what I'm seeing.

Notice that almost all the letters in Liberty are similar. Just in the strike. No big thing.

Dear PawnS,
The Magic 8-Ball told me so...LOL. Is that exact enough?

Congrats to all the other INFORMED numismatist/collectors who know what a weak strike looks like.
I didn't like your "EXACTLY" comment. You can go teach yourself as I'm out of this thread...LOL.

Oh, The other posters are correct with their reasons for weak strike.

You make no sense there Skippy. Have you ever actually ever taught anyone anything on this forum? Or do you just like to antagonize? The Staff has already edited many of your posts because you don't know how to treat people.
