Mlynn111 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 8:31 pm I think it's a 2000 D dime, the year is hard to see. I can't tell if it's a minting error, or natural erosion. What do you guys think? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21712 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 8:43 pm To the Forum It is just damage. The only way an error can occur is during the striking of a coin and what you have is impossible to have occurred at that time. Report this Post to the Staff
Mlynn111 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 8:59 pm Thank you! I just thought it was really weird, the "OF" is completely in tact just misplaced and squished down, and it matches the flat raised spot on the front, so I couldn't really tell if it was just damaged, or not.

Mlynn111 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 11:02 pm That makes sense. I'm a newbie to the Coin World, so I don't have a ton of knowledge of these things. I honestly would have never thought of intentional manipulation, just because I can't imagine how you would do that, lol. Thanks guys! Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 01/13/2021 6:18 pm It was likely not intentional damage, but incidental. There's a whole world of machinery out there that has the capability to mutilate coins in a similar manner to this Report this Post to the Staff
