Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 06/20/2022 03:07 am @cool, I think that several areas were lightly struck due to a little grease in the die. Some of this may also be circulation flattening.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97793 Posts	Posted 06/20/2022 08:28 am I don't think this has spent anytime in a dryer. It looks like the rim area of the die was coated in grease.

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 06/20/2022 08:32 am The reverse rim looks very thick in some places, only reason I suspected possible Dryer Coin, I do think there is grease at work as well possible a MAD. Mix it all together and ya:p Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97793 Posts	Posted 06/20/2022 08:41 am Ah, ok, I see what you are saying. hard to tell without better full coin (obverse and reverse) images. Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/20/2022 1:03 pm To me it looks like vending machine damage to the coin. Possibly lived in a casino back in it's youth. (BC = Before Cards for the casino machines) Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 06/20/2022 10:54 pm Another opinion. It's a 1985-D dime. These were notorious for being struck on planchets with inadequate upsets. They strike up soft and mushy like this. Other threads on this subject. http://goccf.com/t/354227 http://goccf.com/t/274901 http://goccf.com/t/384585 and a few more here and there.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/21/2022 01:53 am Slight Greaser to me. Report this Post to the Staff
HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 574 Posts	Posted 06/21/2022 09:16 am Agree with Yokozuna as to the cause. The lack of well formed rim gutters on the reverse shows that, at least for the reverse of the coin, grease in the die was not the cause. Report this Post to the Staff
Coolmobd Valued Member United States 106 Posts	Posted 07/11/2022 4:44 pm So what was the cause HGK3? Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/12/2022 06:03 am I think it's an Inadequate Upset. The upset mill wasn't adjusted to add the Proto-Rim correctly, so the coin didn't strike up properly. Do a search for Inadequate Upset and you should find images of LOTS of 1985 Roosevelts with the same weak strike.
