Thanks! * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. * Report this Post to the Staff

bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24150 Posts	Posted 08/15/2023 11:02 am Definitely post-mint damage. FYI, take the phrase "Aftermarket Error" and throw it in the river and forget about it, replace it with "post-mint damage." Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 08/15/2023 1:22 pm Just a typical damaged dime. Almost everything odd on a coin is going to be post mint damage. Coins spend so very little time being made at the mint where there are only a limited number of things that can go wrong. But coins spend up to a century or more in circulation where every day they get battered, hit, etc. This is why most of the ebay auctions for error coins are NOT error coins at all. To find an actual error, a person needs to find out what an actual coin error is. Error-ref.com. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
