Diehard fan New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 03/03/2023 11:52 pm I came across this dime and was wondering if this is a mint error? I have only came by 1 other dime that is also a 1967 as well, only the other one isn't a full circle. Both are 1967 but the other is a little broadstruck. The indents are exactly the same though. These are only two dimes out of a giant glass bottle about a foot and a half tall! Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 04:31 am Both are damaged as stated, also I think you are confusing the term broadstruck. A broadstruck coin is struck without a collar and will be slightly larger diameter, no reeding and no raised rim. No such thing as "slightly" broadstruck. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15413 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 06:49 am to the CCF It's a damaged coin. That circle is generally caused by a coin rolling machine making the end crimp, but as silviosi says it could have been caused by a round punch. Either way it's simply a damaged coin.

Diehard fan New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 08:43 am I wonder why it's just on the 1967's? Has anyone found this circle on another year? Penny? Nicole? Quarter? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 08:47 am I'm sure that there were some from other denominations that get the special 'circle of death' when they are mechanically rolled.

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1488 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 2:18 pm It's sheer mathematics. With more than 2.2 billion struck and with them being around for 55+ years, there have been plenty of opportunities for them to be enders. Report this Post to the Staff
