Winningpaige New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/04/2026 4:20 pm I have a 1976 dime that just seems odd to me. It has on both sides a flat silvery surface but the rims are still raised and on the head part of it where it's flat The outer part of the head is still there invisible. Where it's flattened is really shiny. Not very many scrapes in it or any kind of marks where the shiny part is. Let me know what you think. Report this Post to the Staff

Well something was going on to have the rims so thin and raised above the surface of the coin that much but obviously PMD....... Report this Post to the Staff

I'm just learning. I have a lot of possible errors and we don't have anyone close to me to take the coins in to be checked. Well not a lot about 5. Lol Report this Post to the Staff
