tokyoloveandco New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 09/07/2013 3:55 pm Hello! I found this website trying to figure out what is wrong with my dime. I just thought it looked weird and have not seen anything like it before. I took some picture to show you guys! I have no idea about coins, so please excuse my terminology. The dime has a lopsided rim (which could have been caused through circulation.) The most prominent marking it a raised blob, ON BOTH SIDES! I just thought it was super interesting. If you know what this is, please let me know. Oh, & it is not a bubble caused by heat, there are no burn indications. (Shiny like a regular dime) Mahalo, thank you!

DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 09/07/2013 7:37 pm It looks like the area expanded after the coin was struck. It could have been heated by an indirect heating source. If the "blobs" had been present at striking I think it would look different. Only my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

EDIT: Heat damage was also the first thing that came to mind for me as well. But that is just a guess. Edited by LincolnGuy 09/07/2013 8:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/08/2013 01:20 am This looks like a cast coin? Is there copper in the center on the edge? The other thing that causes this is heat as mention. It looks really worked over. If it is a real coin, it didn't leave the mint that way. Report this Post to the Staff
