Titles are Important! * Hello, Well like the title says I come across this type of damage marking on my Mercury dime coins...they're like successive crescent shape cuts...here is a picture of one of my 1937-D Mercury dimes. Any help would be appreciated, damage or error? Thank you! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 02/18/2018 7:39 pm @mr2, I think that you are talking about the two curved marks across the fasces, right? Those look like damage that occurred after this coin left the mint. Edit: Where are my manners? Welcome to CCF!

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 02/23/2018 9:28 pm to the CCF Marks like this, often circular and center-located, were often caused by the early, spring-loaded vending machines, dating back to the 1930-40's. Consequently, this is PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
