121891660059Is it possible that the mint produced this? What wrong planchet would be used?  See listing for the edge photo (missing reeding). Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here)See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) |

If you ask me it got stuck in a rolling machine but I'm certainly no expert.

Strange but definitely PMD. It's one of those ones where the exact cause may not be determined by consensus |

I am not a dime guy, but the listing says no reeding, yet the second photo show reading. It cannot be struck out of the collar becase the reeding would not be present. It is larger than a cent, but not as big as a quarter the best I can tell. It cant be a nickel planchet, as nickel collars do not have reeding. Dryer Coin sounds logical, but I would think the devices would be bigger. So I am really not sure. |

Believe it to be altered / damaged after strike. Thanks, Doug.
PS: If you're interested for a $1000.00, I'll try and make a few after lunch once I receive payment first. No checks please.

THE COIN IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER IN DIAMETER THAN A REGULAR DIME AND ONLY WEIGHS 1.98 grams AND IS ALSO THINNER THAN A REGULAR DIME. The coin with no reeding in the second pic is the coin in question. Looks like a regular dime that has been toyed with PMD. IMO |

A little clear image would help, as I thought the smaller one was a cent. I think that is by design.

This seller has lots of discovery and new variety pieces for sale, yet none are entombed. I'd leave this offering
alone.

if a logical reason for an error can't be deduced from known minting practice then PMD is all that's left. PMD has an entire world of machines, tools, damage, and acids that may never all be known. |

Both faces were abraded outside the Mint. The sloping perimeter is a key indicator, as are the flat, featureless design elements devoid of tumbling marks.

It was done with an electric sander and 220 grit sand paper attached. I work in a metal fabrication shop and yes, we've done crap like this to coins.It was a long time ago
