Bluedogcards Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 12/12/2007 10:21 pm What causes this to happen, This dime has a smooth edge, I used digital calipers and it reads 17.76 across with a thickness of 1.33mm,,,, a regular dime is 17.84mm across with a thickness of 1.23 and both weight at 3 grams. There are no signs of the edge being ground off or sanded Edited by Bluedogcards 12/13/2007 1:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 12/13/2007 1:45 pm The second picture is showing some sort of edge. That, plus the 17.84mm - 17.76mm difference, I'm going to assume a real nice sanding job. Report this Post to the Staff
bonham3 Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 12/13/2007 1:52 pm Those symptons also show for a broadstruck coin but I cannot see (at lease on the left side obverse) any wide strike evidence. That along with the reduction in weight and thicker coin rim height that it was most likely altered. so, in agreement with the sanding type theory. Report this Post to the Staff
hunter20ga Pillar of the Community United States 1173 Posts	Posted 12/13/2007 3:28 pm The second picture distinctly shows remnants of the original reeded edge. Could a broadstruck coin have a similar appearance? I doubt it. This dime has been nicely reconfigured by an enterprising post-mint entrepreneur I would think. Report this Post to the Staff
