Zander2014 Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 9:53 pm Good evening community. I was wondering if anyone has ever seen a dime like this or another coin. The ear seem to be pushed into coin or recessed. I've never seen the hair go around entire ear. And in temple area it looks like part of coin is missing. On obverse side. The word IN also looks like a L N touching. One reverse the recessed area is pushed through on top left branch. Can someone please explain why? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 10:04 pm @zan, we ascribe this "bubbling" of the coin's surface to heat exposure, such as from hanging out in a campfire.

Zander2014 Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 10:31 pm Thanks Spence for taking the time to respond. So the heat will make spacing in letters different and all letters in word America touch but the E on reverse side. I'm just trying to learn. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 09/10/2022 08:46 am Yes agreed. I also note that there are a couple flat spots on the rim. The deformation from that mechanical damage seems to have squished together the letters of IGWT.
