It the breaks look very clean. Could this possibly be an error? I have attached photos. Thanks for the help. Report this Post to the Staff

It's worth its weight in silver. There are far better coins out there for the date that are not heavily damaged. I'm just not seeing the reason for the interest factor in this.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/22/2013 12:35 am That is damage caused by an old dime bank. A screw was turned on the top of a metal tube to dispense dimes and the screw would sometimes leave a tell-tale circular scratch on the center of the dime at the top of the stack.
