Rare66useR New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 02:45 am I have this dime that is undersized, has no edge, and no edge grooves. Can someone tell me if this is a mint error, and where can I get the coin valued Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 04:10 am someone has ground down the edge of the coin intentionally, it would be considered damage so worth only face value. The coins are all struck with a collar around them to add the reeded edge and make each coin come out to a specific size, if the collar is removed then the coin can expand beyond the dimensions set for said coin(this is called a broadstruck). So it is impossible for a modern coin to be struck smaller then the dimensions set for it. Hope that helps a little. You can find tonz of great info on this forum through the search bar. Edit: a coin can be struck on a thin planchet and be thinner and lighter then a normal coin but the circumference of the coin will always remain the same.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19221 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 07:23 am Yes, post-strike damage. Suggest not holding coins with metal tweezers/grips. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 08:34 am I totally agree with ijn1944. Metal tweezers may damage coins/ get in the habit of not using them around coins. Use cotton gloves when handling coins. Your coin has been intentionally ground down resulting in post mint damage and a worthless coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97792 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 11:11 am Yep the edge is worn/ground off that coin. And as stated, never use metal utensils to handle any coin - it will cause damage and scratches. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
