I am brand new in my coin fascination and am eager to learn all that I possibly can. Thank you in advance!!! Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19155 Posts	Posted 04/05/2023 07:37 am Given the pics posted, your dime appears to be heavily circulated--lots of wear (falls in the category of post-strike damage). There's a possibility the dime is an early stage Dryer Coin. Not seeing any mint errors. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21608 Posts	Posted 04/05/2023 07:49 am to the CCF Sorry, no errors, everything can be attributed to damage. If you want to learn about errors, study websites such as error-ref.com As an error can only occur during the actual striking of the coin, learning how coins are minted is also a must. There are various on line sites to help you. Report this Post to the Staff
Iswhatitis88 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 04/05/2023 07:55 am If it is simply damage and wear, then why is the reverse side so clear and clean but the obverse side not? Also, on the edges of the reverse side, there are 2 points that are bent inwards, like a planchet error of sorts maybe? Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19155 Posts	Posted 04/05/2023 08:38 am Coins can exhibit different degrees of wear and damage on the obverse and reverse. I've been searching coin rolls (cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, halves) for several decades. I've come across these examples many, many times. Just my experience, only my opinion.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95984 Posts	Posted 04/05/2023 5:32 pm Can you get us an image of the edge? It looks like the reeding is gone. Collecting since 1972.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 04/05/2023 7:51 pm Looks like it was hit with a hammer on the edge while sitting on a hard surface, to cause a flat spot 180 degrees apart. Report this Post to the Staff
