Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 07/25/2015 8:36 pm This may be a 1963-D Dime with Abnormal Reeding. In the first 2 photos, it is the top dime and compared to a 1957 Dime. There is also a section from 4k to 8k where the reeding grows more narrow under a sloping edge. I would be interested to know what is going on there (2nd photo).

So it would only be fair to use a dime from that year to be a true an actual side by side for comparison. I have very few dimes, but I will see if I can find one from the same year. I was thinking any dime close and pre '65 would work. Shows you what I know! Well...at this point, I do not find another '63 for comparison. I found a '60 which is closer but not a match. Also comparing the reeding on pre '65 Rosevelts shows several different styles (coop is correct! ). Looks like I will have to place this one on hold for a while until I find another '63! In the meantime, does anyone have a link which shows reeding images? (I know that I am probably the only one on the forum with an interest in the subject! ) Edited by Pete2226 07/26/2015 08:48 am Report this Post to the Staff

So it would only be fair to use a dime from that year to be a true an actual side by side for comparison. I have now done this and can report that there is no substantial difference when compared to another '63-D. What is interesting: on a closer examination, the reeding is not uniform around the entire circumference. In places, there is a "V" shaped valley between the reeds on either side - then further around the edge the valley is flat. I don't know if that is just the '63s or is the case for others as well. I am not sure there is much call for an exhaustive reeding study, however! Maybe put that one on the back burner! Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 07/31/2015 2:00 pm Here is coop's photo of a partial collar. It may be a little difficult to tell in the photo of my coin, but mine does not have the "railroad track" sticking out. I am thinking that is required for it to be called a partial collar?
