shaglama New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 03/26/2009 06:55 am I found this dime in some pocket change. On the back there are three different levels. The outside ring is the thickest and the center ring the thinnest.( I say rings but they are definitely not perfect circles) You can even feel the difference. The letters and designs seem to run from one to the next without being deformed. It doesn't look like it has been smashed or anything. Anyone know if this is an error and if it is what kind. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Lets wait for some of the pros to answer. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 03/26/2009 08:04 am Hello and welcome to the Forum. It looks like just scratches (damage) on the obverse. They seem to be incuse (in or below the coins surface) A die crack would show as a raised area on the coins surface devices/fields. Some kind of resin/epoxy/adhesive is on the coins reverse. This would not be recommended for any coin of value, but with this particular one try soaking it in some solvent. The area in question will raise off after a while. It might even come off with your fingernail if you pick at it. Report this Post to the Staff

I would even say the obverse scratch was done intentionally too JAZEC Edited by Jazzcoins 03/27/2009 08:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/26/2009 7:40 pm Hmmmmm. Interesting. Definite post mint damage. The reverse looks like someone coated the center with something (paint-cooler coating and dipped painted the reverse with acid. Then removed the pain and put another coat smaller on the center are and painted acid a second time making the center higher when the paint-coating was removed and the two areas lower where the acid was applied. Just a suggestion of what I see. Report this Post to the Staff

I also tried to get a better picture. I took a better look under a magnifying glass and it appears that there are raised lines of metal and that is what made it look like different thicknesses.
