Now that I am learning about low pressure strikes, here is one I am unsure of. Seems like much of the rim is missing so there is that, but it has full reeding which I thought these were not supposed to have. Then there is that odd bit with a squiggle on each side of the coin by the IGWT and date. Asking for some help! 197X Roosevelt dime with missing details.   |

I am unable to give you an answer, but I like your coin, and I am very interested to see what the experts say about it. I might believe that it was struck on a wrong planchette. (But that is entirely a guess - from a non-expert)

Just a guess.
Possibly a test strike during a press setup.
At the start of a shift OR during a change of dies.
Checking for the correct pressure?

If diameter is normal, then Weak Strike seems likely. I like error-ref description. http://www.error-ref.com/weak_strik...rampressure/Quote:

I think that It's a Low Pressure Strike.

I sent Mike Diamond an email. It kind of looks like a very heavy grease strike. I see texture in the weakness. It seems to strong to be a low pressure strike to me.

It's a weak (low-pressure) strike. The strongly convex die face of dimes of this period generally produces a poorly-struck perimeter, even if many central details are well-struck. Here, Roosevelt's hair and the corresponding area on the reverse, also didn't strike up.
