CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 05/17/2020 12:07 am I found this hunting some change, and while I am used to the common Grease Filled Dies and whatnot on the dimes, this still caught my eye. There is noticeable weakness around the IGWT area and the LIBERTY area, which is accompanied by some unformed rims. I don't think it's damage considering the reverse is not affected. The edge corresponding to the affected area shows a considerably smaller reeding size than the normal unaffected edge that is on the rest of the coin. Weight is 2.1 grams-slightly underweight. Maybe I'm just looking too deep into this one. Thanks for taking a look! -CH27 Weakness on obverse: Corresponding reverse area: Normal edge (same coin, unaffected area): Affected area on edge: Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 05/17/2020 12:37 am Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 05/17/2020 10:39 am I guess I was looking to deep into this one. Thanks folks! I think what fooled me into thinking it was more than a tapered planchet is that the reverse was unaffected. My other tapered planchets are all affected on both sides of the coin. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 05/17/2020 10:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/17/2020 4:31 pm Just the rim is altered. Someone playing around in the garage. They didn't look like that when they were struck. There was an issue on the 1985 dimes that was found on most the dimes that year. But if you find just one, chances are it is a garage job. If the planchets were really thinned, then the design would be weak. If it is missing the clad, the design would be year. If someone alters a coin, the design would be weakened. (Someone trying to create a mint error) What do they do when they get through torturing the coin, spend it. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/17/2020 5:44 pm Take sharpie and write CC on it. That way we can tell how long it takes to reappear by someone one else finding it. LOL Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 05/17/2020 6:51 pm Lol! I've often thought about doing that and seeing how long it takes to come back around. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
