Here are a couple images, file size reduction messed up the aspect ratio, but have a look.   |

PSD for sure. Didn't happen at the U.S. Mint nor did it leave like that.

@Errers and Varietys - thanks for reply but how can you be so certain? Can a grading company confirm that?

@NN, what is the weight of this coin?

Trying to find my scale..will post once I have the weight I agree this could definitely be PSD but my understanding is that 1) usually occurs on coins with significant additional strike errors..2) the reeding/ridging is very smooth and consistent, hard to imagine caused by a coin rolling machine |

I just know it didn't happen at the U.S. Mint, because I know how the minting process works.

I agree with Errers and Varietys, and your coin looks nothing like a dime planchet, there are no ridges on the actual side of the coin, just cut into the obverse and reverse.

It almost reminds me of Canadian Cent

I agree with nss-52, in that the damage looks like it's due to an encasement prosess.

Given the consistency of the damage, I can certainly understand why you asked.
The machines often used at arcades in the 1950's and 60's that employed the common aluminum casement made exactly the type of consistent ribbing as you see here. I actually pried out a couple when I was much younger and that was how they looked.

Here is what an Encased Cent could look like:    While they look like great coins in the holder, when they are removed from the folder you can see the damage to the coin:   These coin are pressed into the holders. No glue or holder to keep them there, they are squashed into the holder. So when you remove them they are damaged. So if you have one in the holder, leave it there. (it still has value in the holder), but remove it from the holder, then all you have is a damaged coin. |
