cece New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 09/12/2020 2:23 pm Is this an error coin or has it been damaged somehow. My son found it and tried to clean it, but the color didn't change on it. It's a 1974 dime. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * Report this Post to the Staff

Fun to look at, but only worth face value.
