The planchet seems a little larger than normal, like it expanded when the dies came together. I'm just not 100% certain either way and I'd like some additional opinions.

sickpuppy78501 Pillar of the Community United States 599 Posts	Posted 10/07/2023 7:12 pm No, the edge is completely smooth. It's not even double-layered like a dime should be. Report this Post to the Staff

sickpuppy78501 Pillar of the Community United States 599 Posts	Posted 10/07/2023 7:49 pm This is the best I could do as far as sharper images. I also included a picture of the edge. It is double-layered after all, but there is only a small amount of reeding. Report this Post to the Staff

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 10/07/2023 8:10 pm Nice find however, try not to use metal tweezers on your coins, it will scratch them and bring the value down. Report this Post to the Staff
sickpuppy78501 Pillar of the Community United States 599 Posts	Posted 10/07/2023 8:25 pm What does the absence of reeding on the edge mean? I weighed this, and it's 2.29 grams which is appropriate for a dime. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73946 Posts	Posted 10/07/2023 11:10 pm The absence of reeding means it was struck out of collar. That's called a Broadstrike. It's an Uncentered Broadstrike. https://www.error-ref.com/broadstrike-uncentered/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95452 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 2:24 pm nice off center broad strike dime. Please don't use anything metal to hold on to coins - especially coins that can have an increased value (like this one) you can destroy any inherent value by doing so. Collecting since 1972.
