I would like to get this graded and possibly auction, but have been told It could be post mint damage. I have been studying coins the last 3 years , Leading me to believe it is a die cap from being struck more than once at the mint, but need to know is it worth paying the price to get it graded. Thank you all in advance for your honest opinions. Report this Post to the Staff

It is there, so the coin was normal at one point. Now a damaged coin. Spender. When it gets back at the bank, it will be pulled from circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5786 Posts	Posted 05/01/2020 5:36 pm Sorry to tell you this but this is Post mint damage. Looks like someone tried to "push/punch" this through a pipe of some sort. they set the dime on a piece of pipe(?), reverse side down, and beat something round onto the obverse side. The damage is evident on both sides. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/01/2020 6:02 pm Well it is still worth a dime. But back when she saved, 10 cents was worth more then than now. So best not to hold on to face value coins too long. Report this Post to the Staff
