Baby_Lokz New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 10/23/2018 02:49 am Have this very unsual dime that has a very thick edge. The coin weighs around 2.25 grams like a regular dime. However, with comparison to another 1990 P business strike Roosevelt dime, the diameter of the coin seems to be slightly shorter than a normal one when put along side one another. I tried putting it between 2 other same year dimes and wasnt very successful in getting all 3 to line up straight together because the one with the thicker edging isn't of the same size as the other 2. It's just a bit tinier. Is this a known error or just a damaged coin from someone altering it? Report this Post to the Staff

Baby_Lokz New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 10/23/2018 11:21 am I see, probably not worth keeping then since it's a damaged coin. Thank you so very much for all the inputs ... Report this Post to the Staff
