rwozney New Member Canada 1 Posts	Posted 04/26/2018 11:22 pm I have this dime that I can across. I took it to my local coin dealer. He has been in business for 25 years, so I respect his knowledge. He said it is authentic and struck in the mint this way. The dime is a little in size than a regular dime. He said because it was struck in a penny cast ( not sure if that is the right word ). The lettering is backwards and some weird looking things on it. He said the penny struck was 1974. I have some photos of it. Tell me what you think and if you know anyone that would like to buy it. Thank you in advance for your help Robert Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12442 Posts	Posted 04/26/2018 11:31 pm Sorry, but I believe the dealer is incorrect. This has "vise-job" written all over it. It was smashed against another coin that left its inverted impression in it. That's why the reverse is flattened. It's just damage. & to CCF!

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12442 Posts	Posted 04/27/2018 02:48 am @Crazyb0 I think the oak scrap was omitted in this case, seeing the concrete-like impression on the reverse.
