Rebel2020 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/30/2019 9:44 pm I have a 1993 dime that is thicker and smooth around the outside. Is it error dime or something else? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Second, coins like this which have a pronouced rim that is smooth may have spent time rolling in a clothes dryer.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19136 Posts	Posted 07/31/2019 10:29 am Yes, there is the ' Dryer Coin' effect. Too, some coins with this appearance have been deliberately shaped by people. I've seen it done by tapping the coin's rim with a mallet or other tool while turning (rolling) the coin. Takes a while, but it yields similar results. Report this Post to the Staff
