coincollector250 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 07/26/2020 02:39 am Are you sure? Compare it to the "I" and "C" in America on reverse side. You can even see the horizontal top of the "I". Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 07/26/2020 03:51 am If the reverse wasn't indented and the coin misshapen, you might have something. I agree that it is just PMD.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/26/2020 04:01 am Someone took a hammer and smashed a chisel or some sort of hard tool into your dime and in the strike, your coin was forced against "something" else to form the letter "C" on the obverse. I may not know the actual tools involved or the actual action, but the bottom line is your coin has been deliberately damaged after it left the mint. There is absolutely no way during the minting process that "something" went wrong and the result is your misshaped coin. to the CCF! We look forward to seeing other coins from your collection!
