It's essential to have it in the title. * I came across this dime in my change amd noticed the circle on I which I've seen before on a dime few years ago. Is this an error Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/24/2024 03:55 am I don't believe what you have is any error. It is more than likely damage caused by a machine of some sort.

mrwiskers Pillar of the Community United States 1780 Posts	Posted 11/24/2024 07:08 am ...possibly vending machine error ( are there dime slot machines in Vegas? ), but not done during the minting process ... post minting damage ... Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19288 Posts	Posted 11/24/2024 07:15 am Yes, post-strike damage. Most likely the result of running the dime through an 'old school' vending machine or parking meter several times long ago.. Edited by ijn1944 11/24/2024 07:16 am Report this Post to the Staff
oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 11/24/2024 08:30 am Do not forget about those gumball machines. My favorite were the red ones, in school I told my teacher I was just showing you my red tongue. He did not think it was funny. Report this Post to the Staff

You should check it for the proof reverse of 1968. https://www.error-ref.com/transitio...th-proof-re/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7530 Posts	Posted 11/24/2024 11:11 am As mentioned by others above. this is not a mint error rather it is a damaged coin,whatever the nature or reason for this damage maybe. The minting process is pretty straight forward and there are no steps during this process that can or would create an anomaly like this.
