Could you post a picture of this coin next to or on top of a penny or nickel or even a regular dime. To tell if the coin was broad struck. We need to see the coin in comparison to a regular coin. With this picture, we can't see how big exactly the coin is

Is the edge reeded all the way around or is it partial missing or in full? Thanks, Doug.

Cool looking dime - Broad struck would be a great one to add to your collection of Errors.

I do not understand about the distance between LIBERTY and the rim?

I agree Pete, how can it have that distance between the rim and the letters yet remain the same size as a normal dime.

You would have to compare the LIBERTY on the same year of dime. I have an image of the 2000-S on the image host and it show the bit more space like this coin between the LIBERTY and rim.  So it may have been the design that year. I don't have a business strike coin to compare it with right now. |

Looks like the rim was flattened a bit. Any other devices weak?

Most all the outer devices on the reverse are weak along with the date mainly on the obverse. This dime is the same size as a normal dime. It only appears to be thinner.

Though it wouldnt make much sense but could it be counterfeit? It is an awfully wide spread there...

If the coin were broad struck the reeds would not be visible.  |
