Spence Moderator United States 34450 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 3:15 pm Looks like four years of hard livin'. Just damage in my opinion.

Meraxes Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 3:35 pm The edge is nearly flattened, with only shallow grooves of the reeding. That's a pretty good indicator for damage too, I imagine lol. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 4:27 pm Missing reeding is common on coins that spent time in a casino, however I would think few casinos have had dime slot machines since 2015. An alternate explanation is an acid bath that ate away at the metal. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34450 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 5:35 pm @nick, in my (admittedly second-hand) experience with seeing acid-bathed coins, the surface texture isn't smooth but rather rough. I have doubts of acid causing this damage, but am interested to see what others think.
