I did find this dime though, and I noticed it has 3 dots on the back (small grooves). I was wondering if this is an error? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 4:31 pm @agnesb13, first welcome to CCF. Second, if you think about the reeded edge of another dime hitting this one as they are all jumbling about either in the hopper at the mint or really any other time before it came to you, I think you can envision what happened to cause these three parallel marks.

Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 07/07/2018 06:01 am Hi @trixie98. Best practice is to start your own thread rather than tacking on to a different thread. The reason why this is important is that when we use the search function to look at prior threads, coins like yours usually fall through the cracks. However, to address your specific question, your dime has a scratch next to the mintmark that is vaugely shaped like the number 7. It is spendable.
