oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 02/16/2023 09:56 am A lot of newer coins have this kind of dull finish areas on them , it is just some grease on the die,very common and holds no extra value. Some are very extreme. I have kept a couple for conversation pieces. Report this Post to the Staff
Parnelli917 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 02/16/2023 11:08 am Are you referring to the indentations on the neck, or the corner shaped indentation on the jaw? Or both? I agree with the others that grease is likely the cause for the neck. The jaw could be some kind of post mint damage ( PMD). Full photos of front and back would help. Report this Post to the Staff

coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2854 Posts	Posted 02/16/2023 11:36 am Uncertain due to pics, but subtle die clash possibly? Maybe an overlay could confirm/rule that possibility out. Report this Post to the Staff

Shorzy Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 02/16/2023 1:11 pm Thanks for all the feedback. These are the best pics I could take as the image is VERY light. I saw something similar on another 2022 dime, although not as extensive. I agree that it is probably common on newly minted coins. I will keep for learning. Thank god I am not psychotic...

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 02/16/2023 2:22 pm I suffer from Pareidolia!....when looking for coin errors. I have collected coins my entire life but just began to search my collection for errors. I liken it to being a "Coin Detective" in that I need to do my research first, and of course ask questions!!
