lalady2007 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 9:35 pm I have a Mercury dime with a date that is odd looking. It looks like it could be 1938 but I want another opinion to make sure it is. The back of the coin does not have a mint mark. Can someone help me? Report this Post to the Staff

It looks to me like something struck the rim and the eight and deformed it. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
lalady2007 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/05/2016 2:33 pm Thanks for the responses. I have included more images just so you can see all of it. I suppose it is PMD. The opening of the "8" just looks so crisp and delineated that I thought it might be an error. Report this Post to the Staff
