Jen6942 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 05/08/2017 01:14 am I stopped at a convenient store on my way home and this was what was in my change. I first noticed that the front edge didn't look right and thought someone probably just took some kind of instrument and just maybe carved it up out of boredom but upon further examination I noticed it looked thicker so held up to a normal dime and it was so I weighed it and the weight was 2.30...Looks to have gone and got a double top coat or possibly 3. The last pic is with a normal dime Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/08/2017 03:50 am That's a normal dime with post-mint damage ( PMD) on the rim. From what, I don't know. If it were in a parking lot I would expect marks on FDR's face. It could be intentional damage. You never know what people will do to coins!

still lookin Pillar of the Community 967 Posts	Posted 05/08/2017 08:07 am Welcome and I agree also. When the coins are struck at the mint different amounts of pressure are used at the press sometimes. The higher the pressure the higher the rims. The metal between the dies has nowhere else to go but out toward the rim. Or the thin dime could have been struck with a weaker pressure or it's rims could have just worn down some with circulation.

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5177 Posts	Posted 05/08/2017 10:27 am As far as I can tell, it's what is known as a Dryer Coin. Basically PMD. Sorry. But I'm about the opposite of an expert, so whatever. Report this Post to the Staff
