I found this dime in pocket change the other day but didn't find the error anywhere online. I don't know if that's good or bad? So I thought I'd come and ask you guys! Any help is greatly appreciated. Sincerely. Thanks, Angela =)  *** Edited by Staff to clarify topic title. Titles are important! ***Edited by Angela145

A coin that was heated to the point where is bubble forms. This one has been flattened down, but they just spenders as it is a damaged coin for the rest of its days.

Very interesting, it almost looks like there is a large ear where the nose should be. I am leaning towards damage, but it would help to have a picture of the back of the coin as well?

Thanks coop! Is there any value to it besides face value? It's also effected the reverse of the coin as well.

No added value at all. And, if I may, you mean "affected" not "effected".   to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog

The melting point for nickel is 2651°F, and coppers is 1984°F. Are you suggesting the coin was heated to that point, while managing to retain the details of the ear, eye, and lettering touching the spot in question? Without leaving any type of separation of copper and nickel or any impurities burning off well before that melting point of either metal?

To CCF! That's just Post Strike Damage ( PSD), meaning that this happened after it left the U.S. Mint. Your coin is only worth face value unfortunately. Errers and Varietys.

Uum, no. Whatever damage that was done to the coin that was done also had a negative "effect" on the obverse side as well. I guess I'll just show it some "affection" and tell the coin that it's flawless!

Thank you for your help gentlemen! I'm glad to have found some clarity. It's pretty awesome looking in person if I must say so myself!

Oh and btw.. This coins damage is not part mint damage. You can clearly see the letters that were placed on top of the coins damage after it happened.

Angela your replies are confusing, are you saying that this is a genuine mint error? Please show a picture of the other side of the coin to clarify
