Is this an error coin with all the pitting in the face and can't really make out the year? Please someone help! Is this worth anything or how do I find out? |

Can you get clearer pictures of the coin? looks like the die possibly has part of a die chip between the 6 and 3? The pitting on the face appears to be from hits with a nail, or an ice pick. Not an error, its PMD |

It is a 68-D.
It has had a hard life
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

I wish you could see this on real life...i don't think an ice pick did all this pitting.... And as far as the date, it could be 1968 or a 1969 that had a strike error?   |

If you look closely, you can see strike marks by the L, I, R and the T also

Hi,  I blew up your dime! Darkened the exposure a bit . . and you're right, there is excessive pitting evident.   Edited by flag4

This coin was damaged after leaving the mint.
It is hard to make out the date.
It looks clad ... does it have a copper edge?
Date does not really matter .. if it is a 1965 through 1969 ... worth 10 cents.

My vote's for a 1969 with PMD from whatever source (not really important) that caused the pits or dings and the hits on the letters. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

Hi Heather, welcome to the family!  with the above, a 1969D Rosie wit da pox! You know its not a '63, would be a silver w/ mintmark on reverse. And blowing up pix shows a hit on lower leg of a "9", 8's are a bit smaller on top. It is worth 10 cents, at least it was yesterday...  |
