KisNap Pillar of the Community United States 521 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:44 pm This coin has obvious wear, but the obverse seems to be lacking any definition. Even the most circulated dimes I've seen have some sore of hair lines or definition between the ear and hair. Thought? Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7457 Posts	Posted Today 13H 19M ago They cranked out over 735 million so IMO a combination of die wear, grease and circulation wear. I'd spend it. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 22004 Posts	Posted Today 2H 50M ago On your third photo, I can see the start of a Ridge Ring which is caused by Die Deterioration so that probably along with circulation wear has a lot to do with it. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 7057 Posts	Posted Today 2H 37M ago I agree with extreme die wear. There could also be a mechanical polishing factor involved. When I was a kid, my pop pop told me that you could shine a coin by rubbing it on the carpet. I did that with the first Morgan dollar that he ever gave me. Report this Post to the Staff
