jonnin Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 10/08/2019 9:11 pm Welcome! wear. Even for that age, it looks like someone glued it to their shoe and slid down a sidewalk for 1000 yards. Normal coin on coin wear looks different, more smooth, this looks like someone took a grinder to it. Edited by jonnin 10/08/2019 9:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74662 Posts	Posted 10/09/2019 11:40 am To CCF! Not an error coin. Just a damaged and altered coin. PSD. Probably shaved down to be used as a Dime in a old vending machine or something. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Nieuw Pillar of the Community United States 663 Posts	Posted 10/09/2019 5:05 pm I agree. This is just damage, but good eye! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/09/2019 5:59 pm Altered coin. Even the edge is reduced. Looks like someone was making a copper dime out of a cent To buy a soda. Usually I see acid dipped coins to do this. But it took more time to create this fake coin. Edited by coop 10/10/2019 01:32 am Report this Post to the Staff
