Did These Marks Happen At The Mint Or In Circulation?

Another dime struck with its edge. Sometimes called railroad tracks, could have happened at the mint, or after.

Hi

Those marks are called 'bag marks' It happened after the coin was made so it is Post Strike Damage.

Those marks are the result of the edge of one reeded coin getting slammed into another. Since your appears uncirculated, it may have happened at the mint, but it's not a mint error.

These features are raised, not indented. A coin slamming into this one should leave indents.

Thanks for the comments.

Snow is flat until it is pushed. So a glancing blow displaced the field area.

When snow is pushed it leaves an indent or depression behind. The surface surrounding the three features is undisturbed.

Thanks for the comment, coop.

Impacted die damage, therefore a minor mint error.

They are indeed Reeding Marks from another coin. An angled impact with cause one part of the affected area to be raised due to metal displacement.

Look at the third picture. The lighting is coming from around 6:00. On the raised features (the Lettering) the bottom side (6:00 side) are well lit and the top (12:00) are in shadow. The features in question in the field show a reversed lighting pattern, bottom is dark and top is well lit. this indicates those features are incuse, not raised. This is a contact mark from the reeded edge of another coin.
