Telliott007 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 12/21/2021 04:09 am Here is a 1983D Dime that stood out from the others because of the darker color. It's thinner than a normal dime and has no reeding around the edge. Would this be an error? My mother has been saving dimes from her change for many many years and she has turned them over to me. I'm in Dime heaven! What I've noticed is how good of condition the older dates are because of not being circulated. There just may be a hidden gem Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21614 Posts	Posted 12/21/2021 06:42 am Put it on top of another dime, if the diameter is slightly smaller, then it is probably as John1 said, an early stage Dryer Coin. In any case it is some sort of damage because a dime cannot be struck In collar without the reeding . Report this Post to the Staff

Could have been from mechanical damage, such as a dime slot machine.
