ilikeikes Pillar of the Community United States 1205 Posts	Posted 06/09/2012 12:13 am This 1975-D Dime seems to be struck on a thin planchet, it is almost 1/2 the thickness of the others in the roll.....the heavy wear, lack of rim may be just that, or, a possible trial strike, but, those are very scarce...as far as the bump obverse, I have NO idea...there is no gouge reverse, where one would normally see a punch indentation causing that. Interesting dime, or, junk? Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/09/2012 2:50 pm This is definitely post mint damage and it was caused by something repetitive turning the coin around over and over. The raised area in the center is simply an area that was not affected as much as the rest of the surface of the obverse. A little study of the minting process would reveal that there is no mint error that leaves coins looking like this. Report this Post to the Staff
ilikeikes Pillar of the Community United States 1205 Posts	Posted 06/10/2012 01:07 am Perhaps it was tooled in an odd fashion, with something holding the dime(where the bump is), and then rotated and ground down..for what reason, who can get into the minds of garage job coiners would be a clue(lots of Six-packs, and boredom tend to produce more PMD coins we than anything else, IMHO). Before I post any error or variety coin, I always browse my library of error books, or, browse th www for a similar issue.....when I cannot find an answer, I post here..this one plain stumped me. Thanks for the help. Report this Post to the Staff
