I have found in my pocket change this 2000 rosevelt dime. It seems to me to authentic and has major damage from the mint. I was wondering if I should try sell it as is or to go get it authenicated or graded.

 to CCF. Start by posting a full coin photo of the obverse and reverse as well as one or two close ups where needed. John1  |

Unfortunately, I believe your coin is simply damaged, which makes it worth at most 10 cents. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Definitely damaged, but after it left the mint!

Just post mint damage. Not a mint error, sorry. Should you get it graded? Absolutely not. It would be a waste of money. The grading fees would be approximately $50, the value of your damaged coin is 10 cents, the new value after grading is 10 cent... you just lost $50.  to the CCF!  |

How do you know when you are just posting mint damage when you are not sure of the difference Merclover?

I have studied the minting process, and I know there is nothing in the minting that would cause a coin to look like this. Plus, I am active everyday here in the CCF and we see both true minting errors and coins that are beat up from post mint damage, and I own coins that are true mint errors and coins suffering from PMD. So, I DO know the difference from experience, and THIS dime is nothing more than post mint damage. How was it damaged? There are a million ways PMD is caused, and if this coin could talk, perhaps it'd tell us. If in doubt, I encourage the coin's owner to send it into PCGS and see what they say. If so, please let us know their answer along with a photo of the slab. Edited by merclover

It is most likely PSD, but there is a reason we like to see both sides of the coin. An image of the second side can provide a lot of information by confirming something or ruling something out. BTW- Quote:

Give me science or math any time instead. I'm simply pointing out why this sentence is one reason pronouns can be problematic. I think the OP was referring to themselves about posting images of mint damage but then mentions Macmercury by name. IMHO, I don't think AlwaysLooking was questioning Macs experience, but the OP's experience and reason for posting.  ps.I've been wrong before and I doggedly reserve the right to be so again at any point in the future! I usually just give myself a ...  to clear things up. EDIT: Clarified attribution of comments between OP and AlwaysLooking. Time to give myself a .

I was referring to the person that submitted the post that is trying to learn something from others more informed than themself.
