jblack New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/02/2014 03:18 am i posted a dime and ask for help but did not explain exactly what it was I was look at also did not post opposite side of the coin for you to see. the dime in question has a small round circle in the middle of Roosevelt's face the image under this circle seams to be more detailed than rest of coin and also yes the rim of dime. the other side of dime does not have the same wear affects? * Edited by Staff to remove YELLING from the subject * * Edited by Staff to remove YELLING * Edited by jblack 07/02/2014 03:51 am Report this Post to the Staff

Big difference in meaning of the spelling of this word. I agree with it being squashed with one or two washers if the reverse looks like this also. PSD Report this Post to the Staff

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 07/03/2014 10:42 am With the new pictures I can understand your thoughts that this is an error and not damage. But I am afraid I still have to stick with damage. It looks like the coin was smashed between two different materials. The obverse was smashed against something hard (like metal) with a hole in it. The reverse was smashed against something softer (like hard wood, plastic, hard rubber, ect) that conformed around the detail then applied pressure to the reverse protecting it. It is hard to tell from your photos but I think there is some metal pushed out at the edge where UNITED is on the reverse and the higher fine details on the reverse appear fuzzy (such as the sharp edges of the letters and the leaves) but this could just be from the fuzziness of the photo. So even though it is a clue to authenticity a coin can become damaged on one side while not being damaged on the other. It just means you need to look closer. Check out the detail and the edge to see if it is just from the photo. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/03/2014 11:21 am The flattening of the rims tells me it is damage. The coin and washer may have been placed between to pieces of leather to prevent the reverse to be altered. But the rims are flattened when you look closely. Report this Post to the Staff
