Missalexa New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 01/25/2019 05:51 am This was one of the coins we found that was noticeably "off" compared to the others. The rim appears to be missing on one part and the coin is slightly misshapen. When stacked on other dimes, it's the slightest bit bigger at the point underneath IGWT. It appears to have a flattened appearance but as you can see it's not flattened at all, in fact it almost looks thicker. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 01/25/2019 06:53 am @MA, yes I agree that the rim is mostly missing on this coin. It was worn away, either on purpose or through normal wear and tear as it would not have left the mint that way.
