Mrichter830 Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 08/27/2023 1:22 pm Hello all. I have a 1969 D Roosevelt dime. It looks very much like a die adjustment/weak strike. Am I correct in that? Also can anyone fill me in on what gives coins that texture? Or point me in the direction of it. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 08/27/2023 5:07 pm That texture is caused by striking with an old wore out die. They ran the dies to death in the 50s and 60s. I think the worst cases are on the nickels in that era. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6493 Posts	Posted 08/27/2023 11:33 pm Orange peel texture. As others have said, due to severe Die Deterioration. https://www.error-ref.com/?s=Orange+peel The example dime in that article looks very much like yours.
