Niknax New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 02/09/2024 7:14 pm Hi all! My plan is to buy a coin microscope and scale very soon. Bear with me, as I'm still learning coin terminology. I have this 2022p dime, it's thinner than normal. On the reverse west side, it's bulging out, I can also see an "M" on that area. I can see other markings in the background, but I really need a microscope. Report this Post to the Staff

With an unexplained bulge and rough texture, I'm on team fire for this one. The M is Pareidolia.
