Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 10/12/2023 7:38 pm First, welcome to CCF. Second, yes this dime has been exposed to high heat at some point. That makes this damage rather than a mint error.

Desilou New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/12/2023 7:41 pm So what does that mean? That when it was struck it got heat damage at the same time? Is it worth anything? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 10/12/2023 7:58 pm No sorry it didn't leave the mint looking like this. Rather someone checked it in a campfire or something similar. It is only worth face value.

Please use a size of 800x800 or so because that tends to make a sharper image, and works with more equipment which allows more members to participate. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 10/12/2023 9:04 pm No, heat was applied long after it left the mint, could have been in a fire or somebody playing with fire and 'cooked' it. The heat separated the cladding from the copper core. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Is it worth anything? What I meant is it happened after it left the U.S. Mint. It happened after it was struck. This is impossible to happen at the Mint. Unfortunately, it's only worth face value, since it's just damaged. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
