You may want to find a better source for your coin collecting.

It's a 16-D. Looks like something a wife would do to her husbands coin collection during a contested divorce.  If PCGS slabbed this and called it an error, they would probably slab yours!   Edited by MOS0239

Thanks for all of your responses. I do not have a supplier/dealer. I just found about 170 coins that have been hiding for bout 54 years. :-D

What the...... how did it wind up that out of shape? I mean, I've used a dime as screwdriver in a bind a time or two but shheesh.

Looks like a 16-S to me. The D mint mark is much smaller.
Whatever it is it is only worth melt value to most collectors.
As far as the dime struck on a nail goes .... somebody pulled the wool over PCGS's eyes in my opinion.

Place on hard surface and hit with a hammer. Then put on ebay as slightly damaged coin. |

I was thinking the same thing. About hitting it with a hammer. But I would put something above and below it first, to soften the blow. The coin is useless the way it is. At least flattening it would make it more "normal". And you might get a better view of a mintmark.
