Dcjbiggie New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 08/31/2022 10:16 pm is this some type of environmental damage or defective planchet? Edited by Dcjbiggie 08/31/2022 10:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CentSeeker Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 08/31/2022 10:30 pm Hello fellow Newbie. I learned the other day that die scratches are identifiable if they go under the devices (the letters and numbers), but dunno for sure what it could be. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 09/01/2022 9:11 pm A very tired die was used to strike this dime. The lines you see are 'radial flow lines' that formed as the metal moved towards the rim. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
