Earendil Valued Member United States 165 Posts	Posted 02/10/2020 12:15 pm Hi! Does anyone have some idea of what might be going on with this Barber dime? Initially, I thought it was just dirty and/ or crusty, but then I magnified the affected side and saw what appears to be entire sections of the "One Dime" area that flaked off. The dime weighs 2.38 grams. Thank you in advance for any assistance! Edited by Earendil 02/10/2020 12:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I'd have to agree with westernsky with all that scratching going on.
