intentional New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/12/2022 8:55 pm I found this today. Is this a mint error? Does it have any value above ten cents? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34398 Posts	Posted 01/12/2022 8:56 pm @int, first welcome to CCF. Second, it looks to me like someone has intentionally ground down the rims on this dime. It isn't an error therefore and is only worth face value.

intentional New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/12/2022 9:21 pm Thanks for the welcome and quick replies! 'Intentional damage' Why would someone do that post-mint? Also, I just noticed it doesn't have the reeded edge or, at least much of one. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19147 Posts	Posted 01/12/2022 9:22 pm Agree with all above--post-strike damage. We see coins very much like this one two or three times a week on this forum. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95550 Posts	Posted 01/13/2022 08:22 am just intentional damage why do people do this? I think it is an attempt to create an error coin that could potentially be sold to an unsuspecting buyer. (Just go look for error coins on Etsy.) Collecting since 1972.
