At first I though someone did some grinding on this dime. However the reeding is intact on the edge of the coin.   |

Your coin is not planchet damage, it's a damage coin, PMD. A damaged planchet would have happened before the coin was struck. Not (IMO) grinding damaged either. The first thing that came to mind was a hammer or a vise. Who really knows how it was damaged. It could have been anything. Edited by USSID18

Deliberate damage, I'd say.

All damage. Been beaten to death. PSD (Post Strike Damage). A spender. Errers and Varietys.

More PSD. The edge looks like the impressions from the jaws of a vice. The distortion on the fields could be from pressure or heat damage. I'm not sure what the reeded edge is.

The reeded edge is the subject coin - the dime. no damage. how did the damage occur? A coin is a circle.

Please, one coin per thread. Both coins have deliberate PMD, regardless how many photos you have. Both coins did not leave the mint in those conditions. Spend them if you can get someone to accept them as currency. |

Again, it's still damaged. No offense, but nothing is going to change that. You're not seeming to get it. We are 100% correct as well. Why do you not believe us?  Last comment.   Errers and Varietys.

merclover - one coin per submission qui? The nickel was an example to make a point - they were not a submission.

Probably not a match to that pattern, but this is what we are talking about:  These hold what is being altered/squeezed and leave marks on the edge of the coin. That is what you are seeing. |

Thank you so much! The master speaks! (I write that with deepest respect) That is exactly what I have been trying to say and you said it with a picture. The subject coin has no marks consistent of being in a vise on its reeding. Additionally had the dime been in a vise, an opposite side of the coin flattening would have been seen. I understand that over the years there have been tens of thousands of coins submitted that were obviously post mint damage. And I originally came to that conclusion until after I looked at the picture of the coin, the reeding, and could not explain to myself how the damage could have occurred post mint. Hence thinking someone could logically explain how it is post mint damage or point me toward resources that would allow me to make the same conclusion. This is why we exist as a community. Perhaps I am too naive to think that altruistic motives could rule. I have a number of other coins I could submit but I am almost afraid to submit in order to avoid the quick to dismiss the damage response.
