ghstridrthug New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/29/2012 10:26 pm I just found this dime today and don't understand why it is in this shape. The date on it is 1965. It seems to be bubbled up on both sides. This dime isn't bent. Just makes no sense to me. Is it a deep or heavy strike through? Die clash? Tell me what you guys think. Thanks for your time!
