Hey folks, I am very new to this and appreciate having an opportunity such as this to learn from. Anyway, I have a 2204 P Dime and I am 1000% certain that the entire obverse side is smaller in comparison to any other year. This includes the Profile of Roosevelt, the word LIBERTY as well as IN GOD WE TRUST. You'll notice that LIBERTY is further from all other Dime edges. I have included a pic of the dime as well as another pic for comparing 2 others from different eras. Can anyone help with this please? I am not nutso!
I wanted to include the reverse side of the 2004 along with a 1967. I know there is more wear on the 67 but the lettering here is clearly different where one is a bit thinner than the other.
If the die was over polished, then the devices will be smaller because of the field area being reduced and thus making the devices shorter in stature as they are angle in shape so the coin is released after the strike:
Image is loaded correct, not sure why it doesn't show?
