TnStorm74 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 06/04/2023 1:57 pm I have a dime that the ridges are missing off of the sides. And the edges of the coin are noticeably raised from the face of the coin. Just trying to figure out if this is a mint error or if it is post mint damage done by someone.
