Speiktcoin New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 12/31/2021 02:48 am Hello I found this rather neat 1969 D dime awhile back and am uncertain if its an error or how something like this could even happen? It looks like someone soldered it but the reverse side bulges out as well but nothing like the front of the coin The D mint mark also looks a liitle strange. Any info would be great as I really know nothing about this stuff but would love to learn. thank you. Edited by Speiktcoin 12/31/2021 02:54 am Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97306 Posts	Posted 12/31/2021 08:47 am with heat damage here. There is no dent on the reverst to indicate a massive hit from behind. Could be solder but I'm not seeing any spattering one would expect from the dropping of molten metal nor is there any residue from the flux that is in solder. Collecting since 1972.

I don't think it is an RPM though--more likely is circulation flattening.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/31/2021 6:05 pm I am also going to say heat damage. We see more blow-torched coins than expected here on CCF. This looks to be another one. Report this Post to the Staff
