Wikid New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/30/2018 07:53 am Hello coin experts. I am new to posting & collecting. I found a 2012 P dime that to me has a lot going on. Definitely has a huge bulge on both sides of coin yet its on opposite sides of the coin left & right.This I cannot identify due to me being green. I could really use some help identifying the bulge not to mention I see numbers on both sides, letters, holes & marks. I don't know what to think of this bad boy. Would someone in the forum mind educating me on what you see? Thank you very much in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

FYI- An error is something that happened during the minting process, anything that happened after that is considered damage and adds no value to the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/30/2018 11:09 am Often these are associated with a house fire. The metal react differently under heat making them to make a bubble. When found they attempt to flatten them to spend them. Edited by coop 07/30/2018 2:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
