Shallomans New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 03:02 am Found this dime in some change wondering if anyone has seen such a deep strike? It seems so deep and it shows on the other side Edited by Shallomans 08/31/2021 03:15 am Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19126 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 07:29 am Given the photos posted it appears to be the result of post strike damage. The coin didn't leave the striking chamber with a sunken mint mark protruding into the reverse. A sharp close-up of the mint mark, taken at a slight angle, might help. Thanks.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 1:07 pm A deep strike would make the mm higher, not lower. As stated, it has been struck with a punch or something similar. Just a damaged coin now worth 10 cents. Report this Post to the Staff
Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 09/01/2021 08:48 am I also thought that, a small punch used. After reflection I would think it highly unlikely since the pressure needed would have flattened the mint mark. Am I missing something? I'll experiment with a hammer and 1/16 punch with the results.
