Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 11/04/2007 9:16 pm I plucked this Dime from circulation recently. The obverse looks fine. The reverse is a different story. The D and the M in dime are barely visible and the I is nonexistent. When you look at the dime from the side, there is a definite indentation. These are the best pictures I could come up with. I appreciate any comments. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 11/04/2007 10:14 pm Its not acid. It is a classic example of a coin struck through a heavy layer of grease. This is a nice example as it clearly shows a larger area that was affected. That being said, I would like to get a view of the obverse too:-) Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 11/05/2007 5:17 pm The rim is not bent. If you look at the shadow on the first photo, you can see the indentation. The Obverse looks quite normal. I will post a picture of the obverse as soon as I can. Report this Post to the Staff
