PipheD01 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 11:44 pm I have a 1974 P dime that appears to have been sandwiched or over-pres0sed during mint (it is the best way I can describe it. The sides are smooth with a cooper layer visible. i'll post some pictures sorry not the best quality, camera had trouble focusing. I'm curious to know value and cause. Report this Post to the Staff

But the edge was rolled and squeezed outside the Mint. I had a Dryer Coin that looked just like this one. The interior also looked unaffected. Report this Post to the Staff

Nothing inside the Mint could do this. Dryer Coins aren't hard to believe - I wish I still had every cent I've dug out from the machinery used to do my laundry over the last 4 decades.
