Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/24/2019 7:20 pm Looks like a deliberate effort to reduce the diameter of the coin, perhaps for use in a dime vending machine. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 08/24/2019 8:24 pm @Chip333, first welcome to CCF. Second, your coin is damaged--this is not a mint error. It looks to me like someone started to reduce the diameter by running it some on a belt sander.

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 08/25/2019 2:51 pm The edge seems altered after strike. Obverse shows a good bit of die wear or polishing. Does the reverse die follow suit? Is it showing any signs of a floating roof or weak (missing) initials? Commonly found on 1969 and 1970 cents. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/25/2019 8:00 pm Could be. . . child scratching the edge of the coin on the sidewalk. (Once they burn their fingers, then they stop) Here you can burn your feet walking on a sidewalk. I have a laser and saw a temp of 157 degrees on the sidewalk in the sun.
