edmach32000 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 09/29/2016 6:17 pm Hi. I'm new to this hobby. Been coin roll hunting for a couple of months now. I came across this 1981 P dime with "ledge" running across the reverse. It seems to weigh (don't have a scale), feel, and sound (when dropped), like any other dime. Its is also much shinier. Has anyone ever seen this type of "error"? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

edmach32000 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 09/29/2016 9:03 pm Jbuck - thanks for moving my post to the correct forum. coinlover, jasper, Buddy, and Dustin6 - I think you are right. It does kind of look like it may have been a pin of some sort. But I'm kinda wondering like Steele is as to why would someone use a 1981 p dime for jewelry? Also thanks for the info guys. I appreciate it. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/29/2016 9:42 pm I agree. Note the solder is higher than the rim. I can't think of any mint issue that would have caused this. PSD Report this Post to the Staff
