ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19277 Posts	Posted 08/14/2025 5:21 pm Agree--post-strike damage. Appears the coin was exposed to a rather harsh, corrosive environment. Perhaps spent some time in acidic soil, or in the (acidic) gunk at the bottom of a fountain or pond. Can't rule out heat damage... Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21673 Posts	Posted 08/14/2025 7:18 pm I'm going with heat damage, you can see where the surface has bubbled and then receded. But then again the surface looks corroded. Maybe it is a combination of both. In either case, it is PMD Edited by JimmyD 08/14/2025 7:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34455 Posts	Posted 08/14/2025 8:08 pm We don't typically see both heat and corrosion damage, but this dime seems to have both. @put, the weight should be below mint specs on this coin. Added: here is a link to the error-ref page on laminations. It could help you better understand what they look like: https://www.error-ref.com/?s=lamination "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
